S6E20 Dominance Analysis This week Greg and Patrick explore the extremely clever yet inexplicably underused method of dominance analysis which offers a set of techniques for determining the relative importance of predictors in a regression model.

Today I'm teaching the Ergodicity Information Index in my Network Psychometrics With Exploratory Graph Analysis in R workshop with @StatHorizons. A good day to share the paper (link below) and to pay homage to my dear colleague John Nesselroade! Paper: tandfonline.com/doi/10.1080/…

Are you doing #EMA research and wonder how to go about it? In recent work we've adressed some open questions and challenges, here is a brief summary of papers and materials. 🧵

In a recent article in JEM, Zhang et al. introduce a missing data model based on the missing not at random (MNAR) mechanism and introduce an efficient Bayesian slice sampling algorithm to estimate the model parameters. Learn more: doi.org/10.1111/jedm.12428 #NCMEResearch

How can we reduce conceptual clutter in the psychological sciences? @rui__mata and I propose a solution based on a fine-tuned 🤖 LLM (bit.ly/mpnet-pers) and test it for 🎭 personality psychology. The paper is finally out in @NatureHumBehav: go.nature.com/4bEaaja

This is by far the MOST innovative and mind-blowing course I've created in my entire career. I couldn't be more excited with a course: from the beauty of the slides, the organization of the content, to the unbelievably cool hands-on activities.

Amazing location and group of educators for a summer school on network psychometrics!

Learn about the core concepts of network analysis, emphasizing practical applications for social science research. Be guided through summarizing, visualizing, and modeling network data using R and the netify package. myumi.ch/8rW22 #SumProg25 #ICPSR #RStats #Netify

This five-day workshop includes the content and structure of the PSID interview, its special topics modules, and supplemental studies, including the Child Development Supplement and the Transition into Adulthood Supplement. For more info, go to myumi.ch/r8ENZhM #SumProg25

🌟Curious about the `svalues` command in Mplus when applying mixture models?📺Our latest YouTube video discusses saving parameter estimates to help with model convergence and reordering classes for better interpretability and comparability! youtube.com/watch?v=HULJH5OB…

Next week, I'm teaching a 3-day workshop on DSEM for intensive longitudinal data using Mplus and registration is still open! More information about the topics and registration can be found here, statisticalhorizons.com/semi…

Develop an active and engaged posture toward designing and executing qualitative data collection projects. #Qualitative Design and Data Collection Camp - March 10-13, 2025 · Would you like to improve your project decision-making? · Do you want to be more engaged and present during qualitative data collection? · Do you want to learn how to embrace necessary evolution in your qualitative projects? The main goal of the Qualitative Design and Data Collection Camp is to position you to develop an active and engaged posture toward designing and executing qualitative data collection projects. To accomplish this goal, our mentor team will emphasize strategies to employ a posture of openness, flexibility, and responsiveness in your design and data collection practices. Camp content will direct interaction with three qualitative data collection strategies: · One-on-one Interviews · Dyadic Interviews · Focus Groups researchtalk.com/QDDCC2025
