Adriana F. Chávez De la Peña

Hello!

I just finished my Ph.D. in Cognitive Sciences at the University of California, Irvine. . My dissertation work focused on developing hierarchical Bayesian models for cognitive pscyhometric applications.

My research work focuses on facilitating the Bayesian implementation of cognitive process models (i.e., sequential sampling models for choice and response time data) to be used as measurement models through the development of:

  • Open-source software (e.g., custom models in JAGS)
  • Statistical methods (e.g., "EZ" sampling distributions)
  • Tutorials (e.g., sample applications)
