Starts next week! We have a few spots left for last-minute additions. #ILD #EMA #rstats

FWIW, NIH had already silently barred Harvard and four other schools from receiving funds — and agency staff were forbidden from telling applicants and grantees about it. bsky.app/profile/maxk...

Chaewon Lee lead a (recently accepted) tutorial paper for psychologists who want to classify/predict using autoML: osf.io/preprints/os... autoML lets you conduct and compare multiple machine learning algorithms quickly without requiring computer scientist-level knowledge of optimization. Try it!

Per source, NIH has been instructed to hold off from issuing ALL awards to Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, Brown, and Northwestern (including med schools) Agency staff have also been instructed to not speak about this funding freeze to grantees and applicants

Maybe a shot in the dark but I once read a really good paper that showed that large autoregressive effects can cause bias in cross-lagged estimates. Anyone know who wrote this, or the title of the paper? Google scholar isn't finding it.

Join us for a 2-day remote workshops this summer! First we have one on Time Series Analysis for Intensive Longitudinal Data (intro to the basics) and then one on model discovery with GIMME. smart-workshops.com/tsa-info smart-workshops.com/gimme-info

Kristina Olson and I have a truly incredible advisee who won an NSF but had no luck on clinical psych PhD applications this round. Anyone able to consider another candidate this late in the process? Trust me, you won't regret it!

🚨 BREAKING: I'm suing #RFKJr @ #HHS & #JayBhattacharya @ #NIH Canceling medical research grants threatens innovations benefiting ALL Americans, no matter your politics! 🇺🇸 Thanks to my lawyers @aclu.org @aclum.bsky.social @protectdemocracy.org & @cspi.bsky.social Long 🧵 on why I'm suing 👇 1/

The annual State Department human rights report “will remove all sections covering the rights of women, LGBTQ+ people, and the disabled as well as sections dedicated to discrimination against indigenous people and corruption in government.” www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/03/marc...

There is a debate in the addiction field about the affect regulation hypothesis. So let's see what ya got! Papers in favor, papers opposed. Thanks @jonasdora.bsky.social @kevinmking.bsky.social @andreawycoff.bsky.social @drandreahoward.bsky.social @jtwaddell7.bsky.social for being Guest Editors.

📣 New blog post! What if ESM data grew on trees? 🌳 Read more about the EMOTE database in our latest blog by Imogen Smith, Pete Koval, @elisekalo.bsky.social, & Daniel Russo-Batterham! esmitemrepositoryinfo.com/blog-posts#E... #ESM #EMA #OpenScience

I'm excited to announce that this spring/summer Statistics, Methods, and Research Training (SMaRT) Workshops are live! Check out the offerings here: smart-workshops.com/workshops Please repost and share widely! Some more info in 🧵 1/

Confirmed (by many sources) news about 50 NIH Study Sections being allowed to announce meetings in the Federal Register. As usual, MANY more questions than answers... 1/2

🚨This should be amplified!! Study sections and council meetings are still being cancelled despite the court order unblocking NIH freezes, effectively halting any new research grant from being funded: www.thetransmitter.org/funding/fede...

Please repost! Searching for candidate for postdoc who I could work with to apply for a diversity supplement: grants.nih.gov/grants/guide... Candidates should want a postdoc now or soon, & be psychologists interested in pain, intensive longitudinal data, or both. Should also meet criteria in link👇

Really cool work using penalization to uncover subgroup-specific dynamics in ILD data using VAR.

We're hiring a tenure track Quantitative Psychologist at University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill! We are particularly (but not exclusively) seeking someone with expertise in the measurement and modeling of high-density data structures. unc.peopleadmin.com/postings/288222 Please share widely.

Come join me for a couple of workshops the week of June 10! Focusing on Time Series basics and GIMME. Also check out the other workshops available here - so many good ones!

Here is your regular service announcement that making data analyses reproducible is hard (mostly because your past self doesn't reply to emails). Here is our suggestion how to make your R scripts reproducible for your future self and others: www.mdpi.com/2624-8611/3/...

Registration for the first ever Asian school on network psychometrics is now open! @adelaisvoranu.bsky.social and me will host two workshops in Singapore from July 29 to August 3. Completing both workshops will also grant professional certification by the NUS. fass.nus.edu.sg/psy/network-...

Enter the dynamic network/GIMME multiverse: ❓What happens when we slightly change (mostly arbitrary) modeling parameters? ❗(Sub-)group results remain robust, individual results may differ more strongly ➡️Use multiverse to explore robustness of data-driven time series modeling techniques osf.io/etm3u

Here is a recent document on likelihood computations for multivariate ordinal probit models (ordinal structural equation models), written so that future me remembers how it works. Topics include quadrature, importance sampling, truncated MVN, and information criteria.

Submissions now OPEN for the 2024 APS Annual Convention! Submit poster, flash talk, and symposium proposals to be presented at APS 2024 by December 20. aps2024.org #PsychSciSky

The effect size and confidence interval guide has now been reformatted into a Quarto book. This guide contains all the equations and code you will need to compute effect sizes and their confidence intervals. It will be constantly updated and maintained! #stats

I will be interviewing students this fall for PHD in Clinical Psychology @ University of Michigan. (Still getting a lot of emails at Pitt, so trying to get the word out I’ve moved). Info for students here: www.personalityprocesses.com/2024-applica...

I am joining bsky around my one-year anniversary of joining mastodon. I have recently worked on Bayesian latent variable modeling in Stan, with progress including Two-level models: ecmerkle.github.io/blavaan/arti... Models of ordinal variables: ecmerkle.github.io/blavaan/arti...

Guessing my reach is going to be pretty low here right now, BUT, in case: We're hiring a project coordinator for my new NIMH Funded R01 at RTI International. Review of applications starts next week! Job listing here: t.co/wJm73MtJDB

Office door at Uni.
