#statstab #401 Common issues, conundrums, and other things that might come up when implementing mixed models
Thoughts: GLMMs are cool, but come with their own quirks.

okay #rstats #rstan #stan hivemind:
do you have any examples of Stan models (incl #brms) running in production, especially attached to Shiny apps where responsiveness/compute time is pretty important (and interfacing with non-quant people)?
What tricks do you use?
Please send blogs, packages, repos, anecdotes! :)
Please do not send: suggestions that I use an empirical Bayes/frequentist framework. I know how to do that :)
#statstab #350 Communicating causal effect heterogeneity
By @matti
Thoughts: Cool guide on properly communicating uncertainty in effects.

#statstab #328 How to Assess Task Reliability using Bayesian Mixed Models
by @Dom_Makowski
Thoughts: Nice walkthrough using {brms}, with code, data gen, and plots.

#statstab #299 The role of "max_treedepth" in No-U-Turn?
Thoughts: Once you start using more complex models you will run into issues at some point; this is one; good solution guide.

#statstab #228 Applied Modelling in Drug Development - Setting priors in {brms}
Thoughts: Part of a larger book, useful bit for understanding how to set priors & check them for bayesian models & meta-analyses

#statstab #227 Parameterization of Response Distributions in {brms}
Thoughts: If you use #brms and can read mathematical notation (who can't, right?), this page will be useful.

#statstab #221 #brms posterior_epred() vs posterior_predict()
Thoughts: When starting off with bayesian mixed models you'll run across this issue. Here's one of the best forum posts on it.

#stats Q about sum scores: Is it better to analyse sum scores (4 items, range 4-20) using a cumulative model or a ordered beta? And how can i compare fit bw the two? just loo?

#statstab #201 Missing Data and DAGs and other stuff
Thoughts: #missingdata is difficult to handle, but maybe if we build theoretical models using #DAGs will help. Also measurement error.

oh, low E-BFMI warning , why do you persist? just let me sleep...
@danwwilson @lwpembleton #brms by @paul_buerkner has made Bayesian models incredibly fun and intuitive for me. I love the combination of well thought out defaults and API with a lot of depth and power, should you need it. Other than that, I think #lubridate needs some love! Oh and #igraph, which just works plus it's lovely descendant #tidygraph

#statstab #119 A hands-on example of Bayesian
mixed models with {brms}
Thoughts: Initially, I found this guide to be difficult, but as my knowledge grew I realised the usefulness of wrangling the posterior directly to answer specific questions.
