Galvoro is now open; a free home for capsules, small interactive web apps for higher education. Galvoro can be used to play capsules, embed them into your course, and to host and share your own. Currently Galvoro hosts 18 capsules, mostly for teaching research methods and statistics. galvoro.app

This December, @adelaisvoranu.bsky.social and I are hosting two consecutive 3-day workshops on network psychometrics in Singapore 🇸🇬 Workshop 1: foundations, theory & cross-sectional analysis Workshop 2: psychometric modeling & longitudinal analysis Details: fass.nus.edu.sg/psy/network-...

I've been noticing that “cross-sectional” has become shorthand for “methodologically weak” in (network) research, and often data being cross-sectional is treated as a methodological objection in itself. I took some time to put my thoughts down in writing. Pre-print: osf.io/preprints/ps... 🧵⬇️

Ahead of our #IMPS2026 short course this Monday, I updated 8 #RStats packages and submitted new versions to CRAN: qgraph 1.10.1 psychonetrics 0.16.9 bootnet 1.9.1 mlVAR 0.7.2 semPlot 1.2.0 parSim 0.4.0 graphicalVAR 0.4.1 IsingSampler 0.5.0 Highlights 🧵

Psychometricians model networks. Here is a map of theirs. 1,952 scholars. Coauthorship and citation data. Find yourself: completely-different.mindstrata.ru How many hops away are you from Sacha or Denny? @sachaepskamp.bsky.social @pmetricsoc.bsky.social #PsychSciSky #PSYNETS2026 #IMPS2026

I found the official FIFA app for the World Cup to be far too confusing, so I made my own website that just shows the results clearly and nothing else. It allows highlighting of two teams (Netherlands and Curacao by default). sachaepskamp.com/FIFA2026/

I spent the past semester building interactive teaching apps with AI-assisted coding. I used my personal website to share them with my students, but that makes them hard to find for other educators. So I built Galvoro — galvoro.app

Eight years ago, @adelaisvoranu.bsky.social and I made a card game called Statcheck: The Game for friends who like verifying each other's statistical accuracy! But what if you don't have any friends?! The first online version against CPUs is now playable: 🔗 galvoro.app/capsules/statcheck-the-game

Statcheck the Game — Galvoro

Publish or perish — a satirical card game about meta-science.

New paper— everyone is collecting intensive longitudinal data but recent review studies report that less than half of studies consider measurement/psychometrics. The paper covers a few foundational psychometric methods for ILD and provides a shiny app to apply them link.springer.com/article/10.3...

A primer on intensive longitudinal psychometrics - Behavior Research Methods

Many intensive longitudinal studies are interested in topics that are not always amenable to direct physical measurement and instead are often theorized as latent constructs (e.g., affect, emotion, mo...

My last game was frequentist. This one's Bayesian. In BATTLE BAYES you're M₀, the intercept-only null model — fed up with being rejected. Collect evidence, INTERCEPT your rivals' excess θ, get SELECTED. Yes, the button name is a pun. sachaepskamp.com/battle_bayes/ #rstats #statsed #bayesian

EXTREME GALTON now also contains a "LEARN" mode to run simulations and learn more about sampling and the central limit theorem. No bazookas though... sachaepskamp.com/extreme_galt...

After 150 years of boring wooden Galton boards, I finally fixed it! Now with lasers, bazookas, bombs, pinball bumpers, and extremely serious sci-fi hamsters. 🎯 EXTREME GALTON 👇 sachaepskamp.com/extreme_galton

Thrilled to share that our work (with Sverre Urnes Johnson and @sachaepskamp.bsky.social) on invariance partial pruning (IVPP), a novel approach to comparing networks in time-series and panel data is now online at Psychological Methods 10.1037/met0000824 (preprint link: 10.31234/osf.io/vb8dz_v2).

mlVAR #Rstats 📦 version 0.6.1 is now on CRAN! Major updates include the mlGGM function for multi-level GGM estimation on nested cross-sectional data (e.g., students nested in classrooms) and the inclusion of residuals + predicted values from the mlVAR results. cran.r-project.org/web/packages...

mlVAR: Multi-Level Vector Autoregression

Estimates the multi-level vector autoregression model on time-series data. Three network structures are obtained: temporal networks, contemporaneous networks and between-subjects networks.

The largest #Rstats 📦psychonetrics update so far is on its way to CRAN!

Last day of AMPC 2026 at NUS — the first time this conference was held in Asia! Thank you to all the speakers, participants, co-organizers, and volunteers for an incredible three days. #AMPC2026 #ampc26sg #MathematicalPsychology #NUS #Singapore

Why use Powerpoint, LaTeX or Markdown if you can just vibe-code anything you want... For #ampc26sg I re-created my slides as an immersive online slide-deck: sachaepskamp.com/AMPC2026/. Including support for mobiles to scroll through the presentation.
