And another book chapter ''Measuring Social Class" has been accepted for publication in the upcoming Encyclopedia of Measurement in Social Sciences, 2nd edition. I hope this is of some use for students and a handy reference for researchers. Link below. lnkd.in/e9SB5Fgc

Excited to announce that our book chapter ''Measuring Educational Attainment" has been accepted for publication in the upcoming Encyclopedia of Measurement in Social Sciences, 2nd edition. It has also been published in the Reference Collection in Social Science. Link below. lnkd.in/eVRSmNyS

It's interesting how we reward results that are both surprising and exactly what the author expected

Great to be in Bristol today at the Centre for Multilevel Modelling to present joint work with @danilok.bsky.social and John Jerrim. Thanks @robgruijters.bsky.social for gracious hosting.

It is interesting to see the subtle differences between a simple Uniform National Swing model taking three week polling averages (left) compared to the latest MRP model projection by Electoral Calculus (right). A big difference is the underestimation of UNS models for the Greens.

Last Friday I had a great time presenting on work constructing synthetic cohorts and using linked administrative data using the UKHLS. See below for a snapshot of those results or follow the link to my website to download the slides and find out more here lnkd.in/eKanfR2a

As of yesterday, I have officially passed my Viva! Very surreal that the PhD journey has come to an end.

For those interested in Handling Missing Data Methods, see via the link some SGSSS training materials that cover a wide range of methods and materials in both R and Stata format: scott0atley.github.io/Scott0atley/... #sociology #socsky #quant

Fantastic opportunity to network and present with some fantastic quant people!

Very happy to announce that I will be joining the ELSA team as a Research Associate over at the University of Manchester. Super lucky to get the chance to work with some great people! #academicsky #sociology

I've finally been able to set up a Jupyter Notebook that can use Stata, R, Python, and Mplus all at the same time. The base Python kernel means that for Mplus to run, it has to run the Mplusautomation package through R which is then run through Python. The time delay is surprisingly fine so far!

As of a few days ago I have officially (officially, officially thanks admin) submitted my PhD. This is my formal apology tweet to all the emails that have gone unanswered over the past few months. An apology email tour is planned. Now on to submitting this growing pile of paper manuscripts!

Introducing: socstrat A new command available on ssc for stata users. This command cleans and generates a full analytical 8-category NS-SEC based on either SOC 90, 00, 10, or 20 as well as RGSC on SOC 90, 00, or 10. Hopefully this makes life a little easier for people. #academicsky #stata

Bit of a Hail Mary ask but does anyone have a link to the SOC 2020 derivation of NS-SEC that includes the 1.1 & 1.2 breakdown of NS-SEC 1? The official documentation appears to have abandoned this practice from SOC 90-2010. Or are you now forced to code into operational classes -> analytical now?

NS-SEC Stata program coming circa 2025 possibly...

Just reading this article on the use of clusters from SA in modelling and finding it really interesting. I've always avoided (and been told by others) to avoid doing this because of the data reduction issues involved, this method seems... promising? link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Update for the update: 1) Dynamic Button selection improves user quality 2) tied server load to button selection to speed up results 3) slimmed down latent trait code so crashes should now be a thing of the past please do comment/message any more suggestions. Code available in about us page!

The Class Calculator has been updated! Check out our new and improved teaching tool here: eosscc.shinyapps.io/Edinburgh_Cl... Comes with 7 social class schemas to interact with. #academicsky #socsky

Had some really great feedback on this talk yesterday. I'm still not entirely convinced myself here, but I think it is a useful exercise nevertheless. Things to consider: Gender sensitivity How to account for women falling out of work? Negative loading of social intercourse ...

I just gave a talk on social status to the @largesocialsurveys.bsky.social group. To check out the presentation head over the my website and download it: scott0atley.github.io/Scott0atley/...

If you want to follow along with tomorrows training “Survey and Questionnaire Construction: the Shiny Package in R” that I’m hosting @edinburghup.bsky.social find the training materials on my website: scott0atley.github.io/Scott0atley/... #academicsky #socsky #Rtraining

Wee jaunt to University of Stirling for a super useful and informative weights workshop delivered by Pierre Walthery from the UK Data Service. Cheers @kateohara.bsky.social for organising through the Large Social Surveys group (time to make a blue sky account so I can tag you pls).

Yes, this works very well & easy to do - use ORCID ✌️ #socialpsyc #psychSciSky #AcademicSky

Loving the weights training organised by @kateohara.bsky.social today at Stirling #academicsky #socsky

I am already foreseeing the papers coming from the Bluesky rev. Who gets sorted into the most prestigious “starter packs” as reifying status etc #socsky

I have my Christmas outfit planned #academicsky

Reminder that we’re hiring an Associate Professor in Sociology at UCL Social Research. Position is open to any applied field, deadline 20 December. (Reposting as the link was broken) www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

Let’s see if I can do this right. I’m just finishing writing up my PhD on youth transitions with a focus on social stratification and handling missing data, say hi and maybe offer me a job? #academicsky

Student I was counting on to nod throughout the lecture stopped nodding

I have a joke about missing data but it's too

Quite excited to talk all things social status at the next large social surveys meeting on the 28th. If there are any Scottish quant sociologists that want to be added to the group let me know!

Fwiw, the emergence of logit wars on Blue Sky is definitive proof the platform has arrived. Twitter has little reason to exist without fights about logit.

I have been informed that sociologists have found refuge here?
