As someone who studies a Thing That Doesn't Happen Very Often, it's so helpful to see this proposed analytic framework for zero-inflated intensive longitudinal data. You run a multilevel SEM that separately models the outcome in binary and continuous ways. psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-...

My first paper as an Assistant Professor at UC Davis is out in the journal SEM!

In the paper, we introduce a continuous-time extension to the GIMME model implemented in OpenMx. It uses iterative tests of modification indices to construct group- and person-specific dynamic networks!
Unsupervised Model Construction in Continuous-Time
Many of the advancements reconciling individual- and group-level results have occurred in the context of a discrete-time modeling framework. Discrete-time models are intuitive and offer relatively ...

Like so many, I’m new here and excited to share a short 🧵 about our paper in the current issue of Nature Human Behaviour (@naturehumbehav.bsky.social)!

Key takeaway: The influence of emotions on financial decision-making is not universal but varies substantially and systematically across countries.

Microsoft just released a tool that lets you convert Office files to Markdown. Never thought I'd see the day.

Google also added Markdown export to Google Docs a few months ago.

📊New study published in Emotion sheds light on affect dynamics in depression. Analysis of 842 adults over 56 days shows negative affect becomes more 'sticky' rather than unstable. This suggests emotional predictability, not instability, may be key. psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-...

We look upon the present as something to be put up with while it lasts, and serving only as the way towards our goal. Hence most people, if they glance back when they come to the end of life, will find that all along they have been living ad interim. - Schopenhauer
