Congratulations, Fred!

Don't be late(nt)! Planning to come to the Modern Modeling Methods Conference at UCONN June 24-26, 2024? Be sure to register for the conference this week--- early bird rates end on May 24th-- after that prices increase by $50. modeling.uconn.edu

I can't believe that the 10th Modern Modeling Methods Conference starts on Monday morning! This week subsumed by a million little details! modeling.uconn.edu

Just in time for the Modern Modeling Methods (M3) conference starting this Monday (modeling.uconn.edu), #Rstats 📦 psychonetrics version 0.13 is now on CRAN! This version (finally) includes bootstrap methods for accuracy and stability checks.

Join us in congratulating Dr. Karen Rambo-Hernandez, whose research on determining eligibility for young children in gifted services was named the Paper of the Year by the Journal for the Education of the Gifted. 📝 👏 #TAMU #Whoop #Research #Faculty #Education #GoodBull

S6E03 “Multiple Choice Is _______” In this week's episode Greg and Patrick explore the surprisingly tricky topic of multiple choice items: how to write them, how not to write them, and giving a well written test the respect it deserves.

Did you know that you can apply variable and value labeling in #rstats, similar to labeling in Stata, SPSS, or SAS? Applying labels can help with interpretation and improve readability of outputs such as graphs, tables, and codebooks. github.com/Cghlewis/data-…

Does he even know what the word "contraceptives" means?

Yes- a substantial portion of the variance in teacher rating scales is due to the teacher! Not surprising, certainly, but helpful to know the extent of the issue!

Teacher rating scales (TRS) are measures of teachers as well as students: Between 10% and 25% of students’ TRS score is between teacher variance- an effect size of 1/3 to 1/2 standard deviation. TRS are not easily comparable across teachers- New article journals.sagepub.com/home/ecx
