DominiqueMakowski/CognitiveModels

The 'CognitiveModels' repository is a low-traction academic project (13 stars) serving as a reference implementation for cognitive scientists moving from R/Python to Julia. While the author, Dominique Makowski, is a prominent figure in the R 'easystats' ecosystem, this specific Julia repository lacks the momentum or feature-completeness of established tools. Its defensibility is minimal because it essentially provides wrappers or pedagogical examples for existing Julia libraries like Turing.jl and MixedModels.jl. It faces significant competition from 'brms' in R (the industry standard for Bayesian mixed models) and PyMC in Python. Frontier labs (OpenAI, Google) have no interest in this specific niche of experimental psychology modeling, but the project is at high risk of being superseded by more comprehensive Julia-native statistical packages or simply remaining a stagnant personal research archive, as indicated by its zero velocity over a nearly two-year lifespan.
