  2. Practical Difficulties Varying effects are a good default, but… (1)

    How to use more than one cluster type at the same time? For example stories and participants (2) How to calculate predictions (3) How to sample chains efficiently 2 4 6 8 10 12 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Story Response 0 10 20 30 40 50 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Participant Response

  12. Prosocial chimpanzees Probability of left lever P i ∼ Bernoulli(p

    i ) α j ∼ Normal( ¯ α, σ A ) σ A , σ B ∼ Exponential(1) log-odds of left lever Prior treatment/block effects Prior for actor effects (handedness) Prior for “variance components” logit(p i ) = β T[i],B[i] + α A[i] β j,k ∼ Normal(0,σ B )
  13. Pooling treatment effects?! Why is it reasonable to partially pool

    treatment effects? Because treatments are not completely different Because there are many possible treatments, you used a few Because it results in better estimates If parameters get the same prior, usually better to learn the prior from the sample β j,k ∼ Normal(0,σ B )
