We're looking for a PhD student to join us starting Fall 2025 to work on our long-term study (almost 50 years!) of small mammals and plants to understand and predict changes in species abundances and biodiversity in response to changing climate and biotic conditions. 🧪🌎

PhD Student Opening: Small Mammal Community Dynamics

Interested in understanding how ecological systems change through time? Morgan Ernest’s Lab at the University of Florida has an opening for a PhD student to start Fall 2025. The new student will wo…

I first thought you could just free covariances between indicators and predicted non-indicator to maintain measurement. But then it's apparently unidentified. Removing the variance of the predicted variable 'works', re measurement, but I assume std errors of prediction are broken. Interesting :)

blavaan 0.5-6 was recently released to CRAN. It has always done Bayesian structural equation modeling, but in recent years we have added some functionality for ordinal observed variables and for two-level SEM (random intercepts). More info here:

I'm looking for a post-doc and doctoral student to join my group at Aalto to work on Bayesian workflow, cross-validation, model checking, projection predictive model selection, inference diagnostics, priors, and survival analysis (I have plenty of research ideas, pick any combination) #Bayesian

I pretend you know you're being a bit slippery here, right?

Great. I wondered what happened :) :)

I made an attempt at a bsky psychometrics starter pack with people who work on or largely with psychometric tools! Please reskeet and (selfl!)nominate to help me fill my many and varied blind spots and make this a useful and balanced resource #rstats#psychometricsgo.bsky.app/6oGLp7D

Feeling really sorry for the team of the Vienna @dgps.bsky.social congress. Organizing a mega event in 2020 that was cancelled due to Covid. Organizing it again for 2024, now severely affected by the stormfloods hitting Austria. Hope we will be able to travel again tomorrow....

I thought it was spelled "pars".

[119] A Hidden Confound in a Psych Methods Pre‑registrations Critique - Data Colada

A forthcoming paper in Psych Methods (.pdf) had a set of coders evaluate 300 pre-registrations in terms of how informative they were about several study attributes (e.g., hypotheses, analysis, DVs). T...
