Bayesian Cognitive Modeling: A Practical Course

TLDR
In this article, the basics of Bayesian analysis are discussed, and a WinBUGS-based approach is presented to get started with WinBUGs, which is based on the SIMPLE model of memory.

Using Bayes to get the most out of non-significant results

TL;DR: It is argued Bayes factors allow theory to be linked to data in a way that overcomes the weaknesses of the other approaches, and provides a coherent approach to determining whether non-significant results support a null hypothesis over a theory, or whether the data are just insensitive.

The measurement of observer agreement for categorical data

TL;DR: A general statistical methodology for the analysis of multivariate categorical data arising from observer reliability studies is presented and tests for interobserver bias are presented in terms of first-order marginal homogeneity and measures of interob server agreement are developed as generalized kappa-type statistics.

Estimating the Dimension of a Model

TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of selecting one of a number of models of different dimensions is treated by finding its Bayes solution, and evaluating the leading terms of its asymptotic expansion.

A Coefficient of agreement for nominal Scales

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a procedure for having two or more judges independently categorize a sample of units and determine the degree, significance, and significance of the units. But they do not discuss the extent to which these judgments are reproducible, i.e., reliable.

Stochastic Relaxation, Gibbs Distributions, and the Bayesian Restoration of Images

TL;DR: The analogy between images and statistical mechanics systems is made and the analogous operation under the posterior distribution yields the maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimate of the image given the degraded observations, creating a highly parallel ``relaxation'' algorithm for MAP estimation.
