Daniel Nettle @danielnettle.bsky.social · 17/09/2026The second edition features: - Refreshed code with tidyverse and native pipe. - Improvements on factorial ANOVA and equivalence testing. - Better chapter on making figures. - New sections on writing code with AI assistance. - Many of your favourite typos removed. - And it's cheaper ! 020
Daniel Nettle @danielnettle.bsky.social · 17/09/2026It suits researchers or would-be researchers at all levels; perhaps best suited for someone who has had some previous stats training, but wants to refresh, expand, or adopt R. I use it to teach at Master level. 100
Daniel Nettle @danielnettle.bsky.social · 17/09/2026 All chapters use real datasets from published papers and provide full code. Reproducibility and open science principles are integrated throughout, as are questions of experimental design and choosing an analysis strategy. 110
Daniel Nettle @danielnettle.bsky.social · 17/09/2026This is a complete course in statistics for psychology using R, going all the way from a first parameter estimate and statistical test to equivalence testing, generalised and mixed models, model selection, meta-analysis, specification curve analysis and more. 110

Reposted by Daniel NettleBenoît de Courson @bdecourson.bsky.social · 23/02/2026In poverty, do people take more or less risk? Some theories contend that they avoid risk out of caution. Others that they take risks (e.g. crime) out of desperation. In our new paper in BBS, we show that they are the two sides of the same coin: the desperation threshold.

Daniel Nettle @danielnettle.bsky.social · 11/10/2025This means that when we model the effects of policies (.e.g labour market, welfare institutions) on health, we have to take into account their effect on income volatility as well as on people's average incomes 120
Daniel Nettle @danielnettle.bsky.social · 11/10/2025In a new paper, we show from longitudinal UK and France data that income volatility (fluctatuations month to month) are bad for mental and general health. And it is much badder than you would expect given the lowness of the low months: doi.org/10.1016/j.ss...doi.orgRedirecting 32212

Daniel Nettle @danielnettle.bsky.social · 03/07/2025Also, I hope it will be a fun read and students will learn something about the field. So all in all a hard title to identify. 110
Daniel Nettle @danielnettle.bsky.social · 03/07/2025I also cover loads of stuff about theories, hypotheses, pre-registration, experimental design, open science, etc., so it is not just how to do a t-test etc. That's actually quite a small part. 100
Daniel Nettle @danielnettle.bsky.social · 03/07/2025Instead I stress how data analysis is a critical link in the process of turning your question into an answer; you need to be thinking about it already at the stage of study design 110
Daniel Nettle @danielnettle.bsky.social · 03/07/2025There are many considerations. I don't want it to seem too narrow or dry. I want to get away from the idea that data analysis is one step in the process, the boring one after the experiment is done, with no function other than getting the p-value 100

Daniel Nettle @danielnettle.bsky.social · 04/06/2025Part of this is predictable: because of the non-linearity of the income-health association, a given down-fluctuation is always going to be worse than a given up-fluctuation is good 100
