For those asking via DM: yes, we tested the Vuong's likelihood approach too, and guess what? The accuracy is similar to CFI/RMSEA. But we're adding it as an appendix, because the paper is already too long. For those using Vuong's test out there: don't.

Does anyone here knows of a good samaritan in Frankfurt that can help a friend that might need a place to stay for a few days? DM me if you know anyone.

Actual footage of my students every single time someone says 'why don't you just use PCA?'.

We are almost ready to blow your mind! The Generalized Total Entropy Fit paper is now finished. Stay tuned. Here's my second favorite part of the paper: 'The generalized total entropy fit index (comparing the correlated traits structure with first-order TEFI and the bifactor…

I just had an epiphany listening to an NIH director talk. The NIH doesn’t fund independent research; through its program officers and reviewers, they SHAPE what research gets done. In this way, then, the NIH is NOT a funding agency, but a research institute that OUTSOURCES its…

Wise words.

A new paper is coming soon: The Generalized Total Entropy Fit Index (genTEFI). Unlike traditional indices like CFI, RMSEA, and SRMR, genTEFI can distinguish between correlated traits (true data gen mechanism) and bifactor structures. Stay tuned...

Kahneman was not just the first Psychologist to win a Nobel Prize, but a very brave and interesting individual who helped shape contemporary Psychology in many ways. Particularly, his studies on overconfidence, exaggeration, and the many biases in our reasoning and…

Have you ever wanted to compare a correlated traits structure with a bifactor structure but traditional fit indices let you down by almost always preferring the bifactor model? We have solved this problem with our new Generalized Total Entropy Fit index. Pre-print coming soon...

Can the time it takes someone to fill in a digital survey tell us something about their cognitive function?

Can't recommend the Cambridge Disinformation Summit enough. It was, by far, the best conference I've ever attended. Alan Jagolinzer created a new kind of academic conference. His organizational skills are unmatched.

This is so cool!

New publication in SI!
Our team CogNoscoLab introduces #semantic #loadings as a way to map how cluster of interconnected concepts in items (via forma mentis networks) populate the different factors found in exploratory graph analysis #EGAnet ! Thanks for the invite Hudson Golino !

Another amazing paper in our special issue on network methods in Psychology! Massimo Stella PhD et Al.

Delighted to be joining DSC ADRIA Conference in Zagreb to present the transforEmotion package.

Hoping to meet new people from the industry and share my experiences in applying transformer models to various use cases.

Had an incredible time networking at Center for Integrative Developmental Science with the brilliant minds of Aɴᴛʜᴏɴʏ Oɴɢ, Dakota Cintron, Will Hobbs, Jenna Wells, and many others. The power of exchanging ideas and sharing stories is what truly makes our profession thrive. Grateful to Anthony for the opportunity!…

I usually just ignore him, people know what he does. But antisemitism is something else. So please know that he has a long track record of lying to get ECRs in trouble. When confronted in a Dutch court to substantiate these accusations, he put nothing forward: not even bad…
