Last fall, we at NYU Steinhardt launched a group to bring together faculty, students, and staff across four departments (admin., leadership + tech; applied stats; applied psych; teaching + learning) around ed policy. We recently had our official launch! steinhardt.nyu.edu/news/nyu-stein…

LETS GOOOOOOOOO

A new paper in Psychometrika by Dr Chares Rahal et al. explores how the InterModel Vigorish can be used in psychometrics to easily compare predictive systems in dollar denominated terms ⚖️ link.springer.com/article/10.100… The Leverhulme Trust Oxford Population Health (OxPop)

📣NYU Steinhardt ASH has a new Statistics & Computational Social Science PhD! A research-based, interdisciplinary doctoral degree for connecting statistical, computational, & social science theory with real-world policy & practice. Learn more & apply by Dec 1 ➡️ tinyurl.com/PHD-SCSS

If you (or a student) are interested, I'd love to talk about our new program. Our faculty have a wide range of methodological expertise (psychometrics, ML, Bayesian methods, causal inference, text analysis, and more) and are focused on leveraging these to solve applied problems!

This reminded me how much grad trainees in statistics (who do statistical computing) have so few formalized opportunities to learn the "computing" part. I've been revamping our statistical computing course to address this. Feedback from students (and faculty) has been positive!

As people settle back into offices, a reminder that our department has launched a new PhD program in Statistics and Computational Social Science. Applications are due 12/1. We'll be hosting info sessions, and I'm happy to talk! tinyurl.com/PHD-SCSS

I finally came off the Bean Club waitlist. This is going to be a wonderful academic year.

First day of the semester! I'm bringing boiled peanuts to the office.

To learn more about our new PhD in Statistics and Computational Social Science, join our next online info session on Thursday, 10/10 at 6pm EDT (lnkd.in/ggTaaCXQ)! Applications are due on Dec. 1, and information on how to apply is available here: lnkd.in/ggTaaCXQ

Are you a prospective PhD student interested in combining statistical, computational, and social science approaches to address pressing societal problems? My dept NYU Steinhardt ASH is starting a PhD program in computational social science. Learn more at our final info session this Thu!

Tomorrow!

Are you looking for a smaller conference focused on the practice and philosophy of measurement? Check out IOMW, happening April 21-22, 2025 in (lovely) Boulder, CO. Featuring a keynote from the excellent Mijke Rhemtulla! Proposal deadline is 12/16. iomw.net
