Bcogsci: Bayesian Cognitive Science Datasets and Stan Models

Updated in December 2025 by bnicenboim, this repository hosts the datasets and models for the textbook "Introduction to Bayesian Data Analysis for Cognitive Science." It provides the specific experimental data and Bayesian modeling scripts necessary to follow the book's pedagogical examples in cognitive research.

Use Cases

• Replicating Bayesian hierarchical models using the provided cognitive science experimental data
• Testing Bayesian parameter estimation scripts against the book's reference models
• Learning cognitive modeling by applying the repository's datasets to the textbook's exercises

Strengths

• Direct integration with the 'Introduction to Bayesian Data Analysis for Cognitive Science' textbook
• Provision of both raw datasets and corresponding Bayesian model files
• Maintained by the book's author, bnicenboim

Limitations

• Absence of explicit column definitions or metadata in the repository's top-level description
• Niche focus on cognitive science experiments, which may limit utility for other scientific domains
