It came with a colouring book. I used to have a toy of this guy and remember crying my eyes out in a cinema as a kid when his battered buddy was destroyed.

A little part of a childhood dream just got full filled, which seems appropriate given the themes in the lyrics.

Just uploaded the updated `discovr_18` R tutorial, which it turns out I did months ago and just needed some tweaks (hooray). Covers contingency tables and chi-square stuff. Changed to match the chapter of the forthcoming textbook. github.com/profandyfiel...

While re-writing my R tutorials I removed the Bayes material from individual tutorials, rewrote it, and collected it in its own home. Just pushed the resulting tutorial `discovr_bayes` to github, it's a gentle intro to Bayesian estimation using rstanarm. github.com/profandyfiel...

Fear not, if you liked the old version of `discovr_19` that matches my lecture at youtu.be/yniFrp8vQLQ?... then `discovr_19_xmas, which is the Christmas version, has you covered:) github.com/profandyfiel...

R book is the same as the SPSS book but without chapters on non parametric tests (I cover robust tests instead) and Manova (no one uses it). If you email me I can send you a detailed toc.
