At last week's NCME conference, I did a workshop on Bayesian latent variable modeling with a focus on the blavaan package. We discussed factor analysis, item response models, and two-level structural equation models. Slides and code are at the first bullet:

Sometimes the best way to support academic freedom is to tell those who summon you that they have no jurisdiction

I finally took the leap to Bluesky. So far, the interface and system are quite intuitive.
Bio: I am mathematical scientist working on topics in education & social sciences. I’ve devoted a large part of my career on developing what I refer to as measure-theoretic (psychometric) test theory.
