Hey nerds, summer is a great time to learn new stats skills! SMaRT workshops are back again. I'll be co-leading a couple on time series and GIMME. The whole line up is really strong this year, check it out.

How happy are you right now? Single-item measures dominate #ESM / #EMA. Fast. Intuitive. Low burden. But… how reliable are they really? #m-Path research suggests that a large share of within-person variance may be noise... 👉 Read more: m-path.io/blog/from-pa...

How do you assess the reliability of single-item ratings in ESM / EMA?

FWIW, NIH had already silently barred Harvard and four other schools from receiving funds — and agency staff were forbidden from telling applicants and grantees about it. bsky.app/profile/maxk...

Per source, NIH has been instructed to hold off from issuing ALL awards to Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, Brown, and Northwestern (including med schools) Agency staff have also been instructed to not speak about this funding freeze to grantees and applicants

Maybe a shot in the dark but I once read a really good paper that showed that large autoregressive effects can cause bias in cross-lagged estimates. Anyone know who wrote this, or the title of the paper? Google scholar isn't finding it.
