I study language acquisition. Mostly I write R code.

made an #rstats pkg that calls #JuliaLang to fit mixed models with an interface consistent(ish) to lme4: https://t.co/PoCwelIwRw

How robust is your meta-analysis to publication bias, phacking, unmeasured confounding, and more? Me and Maya Mathur @stanford_qsu created a suite of R packages and Shiny apps to help you answer these questions, check it out at https://t.co/VtQaOJuAYe

Do you want to do a psychology experiment while following best practices in open science? My collaborators and I have created Experimentology, a new open web textbook (to be published by MIT Press but free online forever).

@bergelsonlab @tjmahr @mcxfrank @ev_fedorenko we're extracting the coefs df from the model and doing our own plotting, e.g. https://t.co/UK3oby54K0

@bolkerb @tcarpenter216 @kleinschmidt @davidrfeinberg sounds great!

@jmankewitz is she wrong

[Mika Braginsky @mbraginsky]

@fobinf good idea, thanks!

[Mika Braginsky @mbraginsky]

made a pkg for pirate plots in ggplot: add any of points/means/bars/CIs/violins – better than ye olde bar/box plots

Pretty excited that our Wordbank book is out from MIT press - just got the hard copy! https://t.co/VRgpMGkxae

CHILDES is the premier resource for studying transcripts of children's language.

We created https://t.co/1eEWI2TeIt, a reproducible, versioned interface.

Now childes-db has a 2020 update, with 1) updated R API, 2) new Python API, 3) phonbank, and 4) bugfixes.

The mystery of children’s first words. Great story in @TheAtlantic by @michaelerard - featuring my work on using larger datasets to study children’s language with Wordbank (https://t.co/eZe6Ou2m9U), and also a guest appearance by my son Jonah!

@dzj_evalparse tends to be several orders of magnitude faster than lme4!

@LanguageMIT @kmahowald that's the same year I took it! wow I've gotten way less far in life

[Michael C. Frank @mcxfrank]

Work by Alessandro Sanchez, Stephan Meylan, @mbraginsky, @MacDonaldSt, and @danyurovsky.

Introducing childes-db: a new interface to CHILDES! Interactive plots of child language data + a reproducible API: https://t.co/Ep6aHpRWPe

[Mika Braginsky @mbraginsky]

@klmr you can just call it with bars=FALSE and presto!
