Mark Andrews and I have just launched the web site for our Prior Exposure Bayesian Data Analysis workshop series. This is part of the ESRC Advanced Training Initiative.
Further details are available here.
The first two workshops are available for booking now (though places are filling up quite fast). They are primarily (but not exclusively) aimed at UK social science PhD students (so not just Psychology, but very much also Sociology, Criminology, Politics and other social science disciplines). We hope the workshops will also appeal to early career researchers and others doing quantitative social science research (but with little or no Bayesian experience).
The ESRC is supporting us with bursary funding for travel and subsistence (see web site for details). These are eligible to all UK social science PhD students (not just for those with ESRC funding), but such funded places are limited.
We will run similar workshops next year and if the demand is sufficient we may try and put on additional workshops this year (though maybe I'm being too optimistic!).
Update: As of writing the registration cost for each workshop is £10 (for postgrads) and £20 (or others) - the information is buried in the booking link but we'll try and make that clearer ... The workshops are non-profit so this fee is to cover basic running costs (e.g., lunch etc.) and we will try and keep these low costs for subsequent workshops.

I Will Not Ever, NEVER Run a MANOVA
I have been thinking to write a paper about MANOVA (and in particular why it should be avoided) for some time, but never got round to it. However, I recently discovered an excellent article by Francis Huang that pretty much sums up most of what I'd cover. In this blog post I'll just run through the main issues and refer you to Francis' paper for a more in-depth critique or the section on MANOVA in Serious Stats (Baguley, 2012).

A brief introduction to logistic regression
I wrote a brief introduction to logistic regression aimed at psychology students. You can take a look at the pdf here:
A more comprehensive introduction in terms of the generalised linear model can be found in my book:
Baguley, T. (2012). Serious stats: a guide to advanced statistics for the behavioral sciences. Palgrave Macmillan.

Serious Stats: Obtaining CIs for Spearman's rho or Kendall's tau
I wrote a short blog (with R Code) on how to calculate corrected CIs for rho and tau using the Fisher z transformation.

Serious stats: Type II versus Type III Sums of Squares
I have written a short article on Type II versus Type III SS in ANOVA-like models on my Serious Stats blog:

Egon Pearson correction for Chi-Square
I have just published a short blog on the Egon Pearson correction for the chi-square test. This includes links to an R function to run the corrected test (and also provides residual analyses for contingency tables).
The blog is here and the R function here.

STOP PRESS Introductory Bayesian data analysis workshops for social scientists (June 2017 Nottingham UK)
The third and (possibly) final round of the workshops of our introductory workshops was overbooked in April, but we have managed to arrange some additional dates in June.
There are still places left on these. More details at: http://www.priorexposure.org.uk/
As with the last round we are planning a free R workshop before hand (reccomended if you need a refresher or have never used R before).

Serious Stats blog: CI for differences in independent R square coefficients
In my Serious Stats blog I have a new post on providing CIs for a difference between independent R square coefficients.
You can find the post there or go direct to the function hosted on RPubs. I have been experimenting with knitr but can't yet get the html from R Markdown to work with my blogger or wordpress blogs.
