Is it just me or do cross-lagged panel models start to look like solar systems when you look at them for too long? #dissertation #AcademicChatter #statisticsisfun #SEM #SolarEquationModeling

At times, it is tempting to throw up your hands and shout, “that’s it! I’ve had it! Missing data is terrible!”

But then you have to stop yourself, take a deep breath, and acknowledge that no.

That’s wrong.

Missing data *are* terrible.

@ArcadiaEwell Haha I feel you there! You've got this!

Lovely session at the #OSF2021NL discussed variability of results due to arbitrary pre-processing decisions (e.g., excluding, transforming). Check out Steegen et al., 2016 for an illustration of the problem and a solution: Multiverse analysis https://t.co/SRsei6aZq5
