On the working of the mindsponge concept and the bayesvl R package

Abstract

The usefulness of the mindsponge notion has been aided by the philosophical reasoning nature inherent in the Bayesian belief updating process.

Three most important methodological discoveries by the ISR team that power research studies in the social sciences and humanities

“…Thanks to this discovery, I have been able to tackle more complex or sophisticated research problems without having to invest heavily in data collection. One of the examples is the recent publication on suicidal ideation (Nguyen et al, 2021).…”
