Online program and app for #APS24SF NOW available! psychologicalscience.org/conventions/20…

📢 Join us for our symposium on "Model Fit Assessment of Bayesian Structural Equation Modeling”! Speakers include Sonja Winter (@winterstat), Ihnwhi Heo (Ihnwhi Heo), and Haiyan Liu, with Sarah Depaoli as the discussant. Association for Psychological Science #aps2024sf

Happy Saturday! As part of JSP's special issue on Bayesian Methods, read Heo et al.'s (2024) article on "Bayesian approach to piecewise growth mixture modeling: Issues and applications in school psychology" authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S00….

🎉Attention! Check out the latest open-access publication from our graduate student, Ihnwhi Heo! 👏 We're excited to highlight this contribution!

Dear future psychological methodologists and statisticians! 🎓 Looking for a Quant PhD program that is collaborative, productive, and supportive? Our team at UC Merced is excited to review your applications! 😊 Take note and read on! 🔗psychology.ucmerced.edu/graduate-progr…)

📢 Pub Alert! New paper in Structural Equation Modeling on parameter recovery under misspecified latent mediation models in the Bayesian framework. Led by Haiyan Liu, with Ihnwhi Heo (Ihnwhi Heo), Sarah Depaoli, & Aleksandr Ivanov. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… Congrats to the team!👏

📈 Proud moment! Quantitative Methods, Measurement, and Statistics (QMMS) group is part of this momentum. Our group is young but growing impressively, with a strong record of impactful pubs and methodological contributions to the field 👏 Big clap to all our amazing quant folks!

📢ICYMI: Our grad student, Alexandra Kislyonkova, is at #NCME! She's presenting her new diagnostic classification model to push the boundaries of psychometrics and educational measurement. Stop by and say hi, she'd love to connect, chat, and share her insights🔥 NCME #NCME2025

🚨Catch our grad student Yue Li at WPA Western Psychological Association! She's presenting a simulation study on multilevel mediation models with small samples, focusing on estimating indirect effects using ML and Bayesian methods. Into multilevel SEM, mediation, or missing data? Don't miss it!

🎉 Cheers to our first-year quant student, Fei Gao, for delivering a great first-year talk! Fei presented on extensions of mediation analysis models with binary variables. A wonderful wrap-up to the year!

🚀Ready for takeoff! Ihnwhi Heo (Ihnwhi Heo) is taking the stage at #APS25DC Methodology Flash Talks & Networking by Association for Psychological Science! He'll present his newly accepted Behavior Research Methods paper on recovering knot locations in Bayesian piecewise growth models. Come and connect!

🚨New Pub! Led by Sarah Depaoli, with Fan Jia and Marieke Visser (our proud alum, now at UNCG), our paper is out in Structural Equation Modeling! We show how small-variance priors in Bayesian SEM can uncover hidden effects in LCA models. Check it out: doi.org/10.1080/107055…
