+++ New preprint alert +++ Self-esteem are assumed to reciprocally influence each other over time. But do their dynamics unfold over days, months, and years?

We have a postdoc position available in our department of developmental psychology on successful ageing Tilburg University @TilburgU_DevPsy Come and work with us 😊 tiu.nu/22164

The AI PhD call is open! Feel free to list me as a potential supervisor if you are interested in say dynamic systems, Bayesian filters, Gaussian processes, optimal control - or something even a bit related!

Great opportunity to work/study with Stan Developer Aki Vehtari - @[email protected] in Finland! discourse.mc-stan.org/t/fully-funded…

PostDoc position with Klaus Oberauer at the University of Zürich. Highly recommended! psychologie.uzh.ch/dam/jcr:38b2dd…

Can a quantum computer beat a ... Commodore 64?

ctsem 3.10 for continuous and discrete time dynamic systems modelling is on CRAN. bug fix for time-varying par models; correlation approach is improved; ctACF function for auto and cross correlation plots, example in here osf.io/preprints/osf/… github.com/cdriveraus/cts…

Department of Psychology at Universität Zürich ad: Tenured professorship in Work and Organisational Psychology. Potential research focus concerns lifelong learning, ageing at the workplace, and how age-related demographic changes affect work and organisations: jobs.uzh.ch/offene-stellen…

Happily, I just accepted a TT asst prof position University of Zurich Psych. Excited to have more scope to support (longitudinal) modelling,and stay in Zurich :) Positions available soon, curious to hear from anyone passionate about modelling -- fit,ML,AI,theory,applications,software, etc!

Curious, does *anyone* understand this wonderful double barreled question from Microsoft? How do I a) stay signed in and b) keep my computer to myself? Do I read the questions top to bottom, with answers following questions, or is there some kind of spatial hierarchy?

After seeing papers I can't find anymore discussing lme4 approximations of SEM models, I thought the major limit was constant residual sd. Trying it, I can't see how to scale random effects by an estimated par (ie factor loading) though - possible? links to papers?

Some quantitative psychology (longitudinal emphasis) positions available with me at Uni Zurich from September on, retweets appreciated! Postdoc: jobs.uzh.ch/offene-stellen… PhD: jobs.uzh.ch/offene-stellen…

The years in Berlin left me with many enduring imprints... today for instance I find myself surprised and deeply satisfied when leaving the Personenmeldeamt (registration office) in Zurich ;)

Are others accumulating a steady trickle of very random looking followers lately? Been blocking a lot, assuming bots, but getting tired of it...

ctsem 3.10.1 is on CRAN, mostly fixing a bug introduced last update when outcome variables are both continuous and binary, and including a function for improved visualisation of moderation effects. cran.r-project.org/web/packages/c…

My foray into IRT software with bigIRT for R now has a proper paper describing it, comparing performance. osf.io/preprints/psya… Might also be interesting for non-big data cases. Needs work to add flexibility on multidim & non-binary, if anyone wants a project ;) #rstats

In my latest large scale (single tweet, n=1, very convenient sample) test race, twitter is losing. But it's probably different if you fund dictatorships?
