PratiqueR, Paris: Springer. http://www.springer.com/psychology/book/978-2-8178-0424-8 This book provides a detailed presentation of all basics of statistical inference for psychologists, both in a fisherian and a bayesian approach. Although many authors have recently advocated for the use of bayesian statistics in psychology (Wagenmaker et al., 2010, 2011 ; Kruschke, 2010 ; Rouder et al., 2009) statistical manuals for psychologists barely mention them. This manual provides a full bayesian toolbox...

...Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15 Dear R-List, I am interested in the Bayesian view on parameter estimation for multilevel models and ordinary regression models. AFAIU traditional frequentist p-values they give information about p(data_or_extreme|H0). AFAIU it further, p-values in the Fisherian sense are also no alpha/type I errors and therefor give no information about future replications. However, p(data_or_extreme|H0) is not really interesting for social science research questions (psychology). Much more interesting is p(H0|data). Is there a way or formula to calculate these probabil...

I am appealing to the general collective wisdom of this list in respect of a statistics (rather than R) question. This question comes to me from a friend who is a veterinary oncologist. In a study that she is writing up there were 73 cats who were treated with a drug called piroxicam. None of the cats were observed to be subject to vomiting prior to treatment; 12 of the cats were subject to
