Good news everyone - we made an R package!
For anyone doing hierarchical model estimation you need to check out “pmwg”
The package provides a Particle Metropolis within Gibbs sampler to estimate models efficiently and we have a “how to” tutorial: https://t.co/8aGBq5hduj

WOW🤯 - we are thrilled to see that the University of Newcastle was listed as the top Aus institution for Cognitive Sciences in The Australian today: https://t.co/cr5gp6FL6q
This is a huge testament to our dedicated staff and students doing amazing work in cognitive sciences!!🤩
In the next few months, there’ll probably be a change in my Twitter content, and more of a move to LinkedIn, but feel free to reach out for any questions (and reviews) that you might have. You can always DM me or email me at [email protected]
In some super exciting career news - I’m moving jobs! 🎉
After a year living and working abroad, I’m moving back home (Newy) and into an industry role. It’s been a privilege to work at an institution as prestigious as UvA, and now I’m looking forward to a new challenge.
If you just started out doing a masters or PhD, I recently wrote a short post about industry skills that you can easily develop and translate (https://t.co/x23lWfoKZq).
