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...

My co-author demanded that the icon actually be cute instead of the horrific thing I presented at IMPS.

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!

Same!! Gut feel is that it’s getting attributed to measurement error because they’re not really set up to disentangle the two

💡🤖🔥The talk by @klint.bsky.social at metrics-and-models.github.io was truly brilliant. Important work; a clean/intuitive computational design & empirical application from the @itemrespwarehouse.bsky.social!

*Next:* Juan Carlos Perdomo on "The relative value of prediction" (v. excited about this)💡🤖🔥

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

Amazing. I used to have \hat hat I got from mathpix. For some reason the closest thing I have to photographic evidence makes me look like I’m about to “vote by mail.”

I saw Russ Almond wearing a fishing vest at NCME in Toronto and became obsessed with the vibe, but I don’t carry enough snacks.

Not quite- you’re way closer than you think! What you described is referred to as “differential item functioning.” This talk is about something akin to a specific and narrow version of that.

Not quite - @jbgilbert.bsky.social can chime in, but the application is in RCTs. When the goal is to measure the effect of an intervention or treatment condition, it may be that only a subset of responses to items show a treatment effect. Maybe a math test only shows an effect on geometry items, say

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.
