Welcome new followers. You came for Onions, but feel free to stay for psychometrics and computational social science
I've said this before, but I really love my statistical computing course. Tomorrow is one of my favorite days, where we start using MCMC.
This semester I've redone all of my slides and am hosting them on a public site, so feel free to check them out: klintkanopka.com/lecture-slid...

Likert is Pronounced "LICK-urt" not "LIE-kurt" and the Data are Ordinal not Interval - PubMed
Likert-type scales are popular in educational research and often times analyzed using parametric tests. Implied in this kind of study is a general assumption that these data are interval in nature. Th...

Wanted to hype up a software package I'm debuting today. If you do computer adaptive testing (CAT) research and are developing your own item selection/parameter update/exposure control algorithms, take a look at meow - a unified framework to make CAT simulation easier!

Incredibly proud of the work @ruitings.bsky.social did, and it’s even more impressive that she just finished the first year of her master’s program!
I gave my first conference paper presentation at IMPS 2025 on process data analysis (credits to my amazing advisor @klint.bsky.social for all his support and advice) I also did my first data challenge and got a third prize (credits to my wonderful teammates Jessie and Na) #IMPS2025 #Psychometrics

Incredibly excited to have this finally come out! Model evaluation should be about comparisons, so we have a metric that puts comparisons in predictive performance on a common scale. I can’t make a thread about this better than @crahal.com, so I’ll let him take it away.

I've said this before, but the single greatest force holding back psychometric research is data availability.
Researching innovative assessments requires response data, but those data are owned by those who own the assessments. This gives them carte blanche to gatekeep who can do this work.

Research with restricted-use data is more precise, powerful, and relevant. Faculty and staff will be working through the weekend to answer important research questions before we no longer can. This is not normal, necessary, or efficient.
AERA has just learned that all restricted-use NCES data licenses will be cancelled, possibly as early as March 20. We urgently request that all AERA members and others in the research community with restricted-use licenses take these two actions: www.aera.net/Research-Pol...

The loss of the NAEP restricted-use process data is crushing. It was the most reasonable to acquire dataset that is useful for actual measurement work (as opposed to nonsense mining).
The data hoarding practice of private ed and testing companies harms research and students. They must fill the gap.
