How do you feel about being listed towards the end of a long list of authors on a publication?

Personally, I don’t mind it et al.

@TracyFabri @YorkUniversity @HBKidsHospital That’s absolutely amazing, congratulations, Dr. Tracy!!! You rock!!! 🥰🥳🎉🤩🎊

Inferential model fit tests for SEM are so nice that we did it twice! @rcribbie and I developed an equivalence testing based version of SRMR: https://t.co/40BTyOYbZK with an R function available now on the negligible package!

[𝕌di Altεr @UdiAlter]

Yup, that’d be totally sigma!

I hope I’m using this correctly… I meant it as residual SD.

I know a lot of people are hating on gen alpha slang, but I’m just hyped to get them in statistics class where they know most of the Greek alphabet already! 🤓

[𝕌di Altεr @UdiAlter]

@AmandaKMontoya @CourseKata Thank you so much, Amanda! I secretly hoped this tweet would find you and that you’d chime in with recommendations :) 🙏 Much appreciated!

Hi, #AcademicTwitter & #QuantPsych📊I'm prepping a 3rd/4th-yr UG statistics psych course & looking for resources/materials recommendations. The course covers GLM (corr, simp/mult reg) using R, focusing on estimation, ES, CIs, & inference. What have you found most useful? Pls RT🙏

Statistics instructors who want to understand how their students perceive the use of software when learning statistics, try the VSSL.

I implemented community-based projects in my fourth-year seminar this year and the impact on students, community partners, and my own teaching practice was so rewarding. Happy to chat if you are interested in implementing this in your classroom.
