Introduction to Bayesian Data Analysis for Cognitive Science

This book introduces Bayesian data analysis and Bayesian cognitive modeling to students and researchers in cognitive science (e.g. linguistics, psycholinguistics, psychology, computer science) with a focus on modeling data from planned experiments. The book relies on the probabilistic programming language Stan and the R package brms.
