Based on # of reads, the most useful thing I've ever written is a comparison of #PrincipalComponentsAnalysis and #ExploratoryFactorAnalysis. I decided to share it with a wider audience by publishing it on Medium. Please share with those who might benefit laura-castro-schilo.medium.cā¦

This article gives a phenomenal overview of the history and evolution of best practices in measurement invariance and differential item functioning -- I can't remember the last time I learned so much from reading a single paper, highly recommended!

Friends don't let friends do chi-square difference tests by hand... especially when you can fit all your
#SEM models in one report and compare them interactively. #StructuralEquationModeling #JMPSoftware

One week left to sign up if you want to learn latent growth modeling with me through @StatHorizons Jan 18 to Jan 20 !
If you wanted to learn it with @curranbauer or @GregoryRHancock but missed their recent courses and I'm your only option left, that is totally cool too

Learn to model change or growth in longitudinal data using Latent Growth Curve Modeling with @dmcneish18, January 18-20. You'll walk away with the ability to confidently apply and interpret these methods to answer your unique research questions.

"Your job this week is to redo all those R models in JMP" said a professor to a grad student last week after seeing a demo of JMP Pro #StructuralEquationModeling platform! These comments are a huge motivation for me to keep making the #SEM platform in #JMPPro the best of its kind

My preferred tool is @JMP_software. I'm a big fan of their #dataviz team (@xangregg) and it provides lots of advanced analysis that you can't find in Tableau or PowerBI. If it were a few years ago I would probably get into R, but having a business case was always a problem.

I'm a big fan of high-level, jargon-free, intro readings of complex topics prior to getting into technical material. This blog post might help those learning multiple-group analysis in #StructuralEquationModeling as a first reading community.jmp.com/t5/JMP-Bloā¦

I couldnāt agree more! The system fosters impostor syndrome and some of us have a harder time dealing with it than others. I overworked myself to the point it hurt my healthā¦ so I had to call it quits. I have deep admiration for those who can navigate the system!

I wrote a thing for @InstMathStat about my experience with impostor syndrome.

When I told my department chair I had to leave academia because I felt like an alcoholic working at a bar, he assured me my āissuesā would follow me wherever I went. Lucky for me, he was wrong.
