My latest blog post on how and why we added Bayesian tests to statscloud.app. TLDR: Honestly, I really struggled to understand Bayesian analyses at first, so we delivered this update to help all those who would similarly benefit from some extra guidance on running them. More in the blog post... 👀

Following the recent release of Bayesian analyses in statscloud.app, here's a blog post from @dan.media on the background behind the update: 🔗 blog.statscloud.app/bayesian-ana...

A screenshot of the linked page. The title reads "Bayesian analyses have arrived in StatsCloud with the subheading "You can now run Bayesian analyses in StatsCloud and do so on any device at any time for free"

I love this - this is exactly why we moved on from the "tick-box" interface used by previous stats software. Bayesian analysis can be super complicated, especially for newcomers, so explaining the output like this step-by-step is really beneficial.

With our new Bayesian analyses, we've ensured that the output does not overload you with complex information. Instead, you just click/tap a button to get the information as/when you need it. When you do, everything is summarised carefully so you know exactly what you're looking at.

A screenshot of a Bayesian analysis output in StatsCloud. There is some highlighted text at the top stating: "There is good evidence of a difference" and "There is only anecdotal evidence for no difference". Below this is a box plot showing a clear difference between two groups; the "Drug" group has a noticeably higher mean score than the "Placebo" group.

I really enjoyed writing this blog post for the Applied Psychology Research group at @herts.ac.uk: I've always been fascinated by replication studies in psychology but have realised that they're not always as straightforward as they seem.. www.herts.ac.uk/research/cen...

Why do some psychology studies not replicate well?

In recent years, psychologists have been concerned about a “replication crisis”. However, are things really that bad or is there another reason why some findings do not replicate?

📢 Good news! We've revamped Principal Components Analysis so we now support more rotation methods and provide even more useful statistics in the output...

🎉 Big news! I know many people have been asking for this analysis to be added for a while now, so I'm delighted that it's now available. I believe this makes @statscloud.app the only statistics app that will let you calculate this stat on any device at any time for free...!

📢 McDonald's Omega has just landed in @statscloud.app ! You can now find this under the Reliability Analysis section in our new 'R analyses' screen. 👉 Try it out here: bit.ly/46grlXd

Our recent hike around South Wales took us to the stunning Sychryd (Pwll Berw) waterfall. Almost twisted an ankle taking this, but absolutely worth it!

This is why I love working in the UI/UX world. It's only a small thing, but I really enjoy bringing StatsCloud to life and making it more fun to use with little animations like this. I hope you like them! ☺️

We've also spruced up the interface when running R analyses: The analysis selection screen is cleaner and more informative, and the variables box now lights up in green when appropriate variables have been selected.

This update has been about a year in the making so I'm really pleased to see it finally surface! This R integration means that anyone can now use an R-powered statistics app on any device at any time for free. I'm really proud that StatsCloud is leading the way on this.

📢 Big news: R analyses have arrived in StatsCloud! 🎉 Now, when you go to run an analysis, you'll see this lovely new button that will open up a suite of analyses all written and executed in R. Go on, give it a go! bit.ly/44bPs6V

A screenshot of the StatsCloud analysis start screen. The main text reads "Run analyses" with the tagline "What would you like to do?" and there are two buttons below; a green "Run new analysis" button and a blue "Run analysis in R (BETA)" button.

Please don't give up on teaching students how to code. If you don't want to dive straight into using a terminal, this app might be exactly what you need. I cannot think of a better way of introducing someone to a statistical programming language than this! 😊

StatsCloud@statscloud.app · 2y ago

Here's how StatsCloud helps people learn how to code. As you use the app, it generates live code showing you how you replicate everything you've done in a programming language and then run it in a live terminal! 🤯 youtu.be/rILvN_Cmj3o?... #statistics

This is something I've wanted to see in statistics apps for ages: Generating a share link to a data set but with certain columns (with sensitive data) missing. This is hugely important when sharing data sets online, and I'm so proud that @statscloud.bsky.social is leading the way on this 🙂

StatsCloud@statscloud.app · 2y ago

Project sharing: The most powerful feature of project sharing is that you can exclude certain columns in your project share links (e.g., those with confidential information). This is incredibly useful when sharing sensitive data sets: youtu.be/rILvN_Cmj3o?...

I'm really happy with this talk! 🙂 This showcases everything we've been up to at @StatsCloud over the year and demonstrates some really powerful new features. It even has a sneak peak at our brand new 'analysis modules' feature coming soon... 👀

StatsCloud@statscloud.app · 2y ago

At the start of the year, we announced three big features we're working on for StatsCloud (widgets, project sharing, and analysis modules). Here's how that's going: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rILv...

Hot on the heels of our latest update comes version 0.9.7.1, which includes some small bug fixes, improvements to calculated variables, and a nice new colour palette for dark mode 🌙

The welcome screen for statscloud.app which has an image of devices running statscloud on the left with some key text (including the phrase "A modern cross-platform statistics app that makes statistics open to everyone"). On the right are some action buttons saying "Go to dashboard" and "Start a new project" under a "Welcome" heading. This section has a dark background with light text.The home screen for statscloud, showing a dashboard with 3 big action buttons ("New temporary project", "New saved project", and "New cloud project") with a list of projects below the heading "Projects saved in the cloud".
