Major aMNLFA bug fix! TL;DR: If you ran the old version (i.e., anytime before July 2021) without inspecting the Mplus inputs and outputs and altering them accordingly, you should rerun them using the new version now, and check your inputs and outputs! nishagottfredson.web.unc.edu…

I'm not sure I've ever learned more from writing a paper -- both about the literature and about the process of getting our heads around the literature. It was the longest time I've ever spent writing a paper (1.5 years!!) and I'm really proud of what our team produced!

New simulation paper comparing performance of 2 newer SEM fit index methods (dynamic fit cutoffs, equivalence testing ) to traditional cutoffs (RMSEA < .06, CFI > .95). Both methods were improvements, but dynamic fit were most consistent across models tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Getting the DIF model "right" may be less important than assessing the robustness of your focal findings (usually pertaining to the relationship between the factor scores and some other variable) to decisions made during the scoring process! /end

Footnotes: * OK, it may have come out 2 months ago. I don't know why I waited so long to share it, but I'm excited to hear your feedback! ** The average correlation among factor scores was ~.9 - so, not "close enough" for all applications (e.g., educational testing).

Mmk so I’m using this whole “no more Twitter” thing as an excuse to start afresh, this time as an Engaged Scientist who Actually Uses Social Media to Learn and Grow. ™️ Come find me on Mastodon! mas.to/@vcole

Wait wait wait, does everyone moving to Mastodon mean that I can create an account there that I neglect as egregiously as I neglect this one, periodically dropping in to see just how quickly the world has turned without my awareness? Sign me up!
