Based on # of reads, the most useful thing I've ever written is a comparison of #PrincipalComponentsAnalysis and #ExploratoryFactorAnalysis. I decided to share it with a wider audience by publishing it on Medium. Please share with those who might benefit https://t.co/IetzKZffN8

Super excited to teach, along with Haley Yaremych, a longitudinal SEM workshop at #SPSP2025. I couldn't be more excited given this is my favorite topic!! Please share with those who might be interested to attend. Details: https://t.co/oZB0Vp4EZ5

This article gives a phenomenal overview of the history and evolution of best practices in measurement invariance and differential item functioning -- I can't remember the last time I learned so much from reading a single paper, highly recommended!

Friends don't let friends do chi-square difference tests by hand... especially when you can fit all your
#SEM models in one report and compare them interactively. #StructuralEquationModeling #JMPSoftware

I made a video... the last 6 years of my professional career post-academia in 6.5 minutes! I'm SO darn lucky! Check it out: https://t.co/h7NPKafVTY

One week left to sign up if you want to learn latent growth modeling with me through @StatHorizons Jan 18 to Jan 20 !

If you wanted to learn it with @curranbauer or @GregoryRHancock but missed their recent courses and I'm your only option left, that is totally cool too

[Laura Castro-Schilo @LauraCastroS]

I've written why we're so awesome here: https://t.co/T7X9igLpSu but version 17.2 is now available and is even better!

[Laura Castro-Schilo @LauraCastroS]

"Your job this week is to redo all those R models in JMP" said a professor to a grad student last week after seeing a demo of JMP Pro #StructuralEquationModeling platform! These comments are a huge motivation for me to keep making the #SEM platform in #JMPPro the best of its kind

NEW PAPER ALERT:

I couldn't be more excited that this invited APA Handbook chapter, co-authored by Craig Enders, is now published (link to paper and supplemental materials below).

Bc I hope this chapter will be broadly useful to students and instructors, a brief overview🧵 1/n:

Lots of great content here!

I am continuing to add additional pdfs as they come in...

7 years today since I drove into the @SASsoftware campus to start a new chapter of my life working with @JMP_software. What a rewarding professional career it’s been so far! Grateful for the amazing people I’ve met and work with along the way!!

[Laura Castro-Schilo @LauraCastroS]

I’m excited to share my multiple-group analysis post with a wider audience! If you #teach #StructuralEquationModeling I promise the last section here makes a great assignment for your students! #AcademicTwitter #SEM

[Towards Data Science @TDataScience]

In a clear and accessible explainer, Laura Castro-Schilo guides us through the process of conducting multiple-group analysis in the context of structural equation modeling.

[Wisevis, dataviz for mortals @wisevis]

@DataRocksNZ @InsightsMachine My preferred tool is @JMP_software. I'm a big fan of their #dataviz team (@xangregg) and it provides lots of advanced analysis that you can't find in Tableau or PowerBI. If it were a few years ago I would probably get into R, but having a business case was always a problem.

You can't do it all, and you can't be everything to everyone.

Interested in working with ABCT Leadership to promote structural level changes that improve its focus on diversity, equity, inclusion, access, and social justice? Check out and apply to the the new ABCT CHANGE Leaders program!

[Laura Castro-Schilo @LauraCastroS]

I'm a big fan of high-level, jargon-free, intro readings of complex topics prior to getting into technical material. This blog post might help those learning multiple-group analysis in #StructuralEquationModeling as a first reading https://t.co/XtfBfoTOnt

@gerardo_insight De repente uno pierde la perspectiva 😉 pero lo bueno que estos días estoy bien ubicada. Mil gracias! Y mucho éxito a ti tmb!

I couldn’t agree more! The system fosters impostor syndrome and some of us have a harder time dealing with it than others. I overworked myself to the point it hurt my health… so I had to call it quits. I have deep admiration for those who can navigate the system!

[Daniela Witten @daniela_witten]

I wrote a thing for @InstMathStat about my experience with impostor syndrome.
