Bayesian multivariate regression. (a) Graphical illustration of the model. Both response times and memory accuracy were modelled to be drawn from a multivariate Gaussian distribution. Parameters of the two categorical predictors (Stimuli, Condition) and their interaction term were drawn from a noninformative Student t prior. Their slopes were allowed to vary across the group j (participants, n = 24), capturing the participant-level variability. (b) Posterior predictive densities of accuracy (top) and reaction times (bottom) depicting a good model fit. Dark lines represent the observed data distribution (y) of the two response variables, while the green lines represent the replicated (simulated) draws (yrep) from the model's posterior predictive distribution.
