This completes my summary of the 7 chapters.
For years I laboured under the inconsistencies of 'significance testing' - Bayesian methods have been a liberation. Thanks to the developers of @mcmc_stan for wonderful software. us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/bay… @SAGE_Methods
Chapter 7 covers multivariate responses for normal and multinomial responses. Also Markov Chain Monte Carlo - the machinery behind Bayesian methods is illustrated. Gambers' Ruin is used to discuss core ideas and a critical comparison with the frequentist paradigm. @SAGE_Methods
I don't know if anyone is here, but I now post ideas about XR, including applications on melslater.substack.com/

A friend of mine is an economist. It’s not my field at all. He’s produced a critique and new model. If you’re into that take a look.

Thanks for the various responses. I like the Bluesky suggestion and there has been the recent upsurge in Threads due to the Brazil situation. Still undecided. Take a look at

Mar's thread very neatly explains our paper on first-person customisation of self-avatars. I think this the last paper from my sabbatical visit to MSR!

More than a “demo” it is a panel discussion about important issues which utilizes #VR to put all the panel members round the same table - even though in 5 different countries.
