In the posts in this category you will find Python scripts. Python is said to be one of the easiest programming language to learn. Learning one language will also make it easier to learn another, much more advanced, one. As a Bachelor student in the cognitive science programme I got to take Python courses. However, it was not before I started my Ph.D years that I realized how much use I had because I knew some programming.
For a psychology researcher Python might be ideal since it is relatively easy to learn and there is a huge Python community to get help from. How to build experiments using free and open-source tools such as PsychoPy, OpenSesame, Expyriment, and PyEPL is, for instance, something you could find in this category.
In an earlier post, I showed four different techniques that enable a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) using Python. Now, in this Python data analysis tutorial, we are going to learn how to do two-way ANOVA for independent measures using Python. First, we are going to learn how to calculate the ANOVA table “by hand”. […]

In this Python data analysis tutorial, we will focus on how to carry out between-subjects ANOVA in Python. As mentioned in an earlier post (Repeated measures ANOVA with Python) ANOVAs are commonly used in Psychology. We start with a brief introduction to the theory of ANOVA. If you are more interested in the four methods

In this post, you will learn how to carry out a repeated measures ANOVA in Python. A standard method in experimental psychology is within-subjects designs. One way to analysis the data collected using within-subjects designs is using repeated measures ANOVA. I recently wrote a post on how to conduct a repeated measures ANOVA using Python

In this post I will discuss two Python Integrated Development Environments (IDE); Rodeo and Spyder. Both Python IDEs might be useful for researchers used to work with R and RStudio (a very good and popular IDE for R) because they offer similar functionalities and graphical interfaces as RStudio. That is, Rodeo and Spyder can both

In this post you will find some really good Python Blogs and Resources. Most of these really helped me when moving from proprietary software to free and Open Source software (e.g., PsychoPy written in Python). The links are divided into two categories: general and research. In the ‘general’ category you will find good Python resources
