In this category you will find posts that are related to programming and should be interesting for psychologists, cognitive scientists, and neuroscientists. Well, almost every researcher would probably find some of the information useful at some time!

Every research psychologist, cognitive scientist, and neuroscientist, should know how to program.. Knowing how to program and write scripts will make many of a researchers everyday tasks much easier. For instance, instead of going through line after line of raw data you can write a Python script that runs through each cell in each column. Furthermore, you get the possibility to use more advanced, and cutting edge, statistical techniques by using R statistical programming environment.

Another example might be to create experiments using PsychoPy (either by coding using Python or using the drag-and-drop interface) and the cheap and open-source Arduino microcontroller. Also, coding is fun and relaxing!

This blog will teach you how to carry out the Durbin-Watson Test in R. Have you ever run a linear regression model in R and wondered if the model’s assumptions hold? One common assumption of a linear regression model is the independence of observations, which means that the residuals (the differences between predicted and actual

Probit Regression in R: Interpretation & Examples

Leave a Comment / Programming, R /

This blog post will teach us how to use probit regression in R, a statistical modeling technique for analyzing binary response variables. Probit regression can be useful when the outcome variable is dichotomous. That is when the outcome variable takes only two possible values, such as “success” or “failure,” “yes” or “no,” or “tinnitus” or
