@dlakelan thanks for the great info! The number of potential permutations could become a bit of a problem as we asked participants to rank-order as many as 10 items in a group, although R and Julia can handle those computations fairly easily. I think the structure you proposed (x1 > ... > xi) will be especially helpful in developing likelihood estimates of rank orders of subsets of elements, like assessing "red > blue" out of a corpus of rank orders of 8 different colors.
@bruno_nicenboim I especially appreciated the last part of your blog post where you discussed how the exploded logit model could potentially be used in cognitive research, which is exactly what I'm doing. Steyvers, Lee, etc. have great papers closely related to the topic, but don't quite describe this exact situation. Hopefully I'll be able to share some results with Mastodon in the near future!
Thanks, everybody! This has been incredibly helpful
@dlakelan yes, that's exactly right! You understand perfectly
My new band is called "1023 Megabytes"? We are very good.. we just don't have a gig yet

Please help me, fellow MastoNerds: What is the appropriate statistical distribution for responses to questions in which participants are asked to rank-order groups of stimuli? And how would it be implemented in pymc3/Stan/Turning.jl? Closest thing I can find is the ordered probit model.

Please and thank you 🙏

Study: Network neuroscience theory best predictor of intelligence

Taking into account the features of the whole brain – rather than individual regions or networks – leads to the most accurate predictions of intelligence, researchers find.

This is the PsychoPy team's #introduction to Mastodon.

PsychoPy is an #opensource package to build and run experiments in #python and #js

PsychoPy is a widely used tool for the behavioural sciences like #psychology #linguistics #economics #neuroscience

This account will also tweet about other parts of the ecosystem like #pavlovia (it's like GitHub for behavioural science) and #PsychoJS

Looking forward to chatting with you here! 🥰😁
