Amazing! Congratulations, Omid! 🎉

As additional spotlight: what I meant was the other work by @jmbh.bsky.social together with Anja Ernst: osf.io/preprints/ps...
"Modeling Qualitative Between-Person Heterogeneity in Time-Series using Latent Class Vector Autoregressive Models"
Thus, lots of novel ESM methods (even in R) to dive into!

🚨 New preprint: We compared 13 methods for detecting momentary careless responding in the WARN-D data (206k+ obs.). Tutorials guide you through each method. The takeaway? Diverging results, inherent subjectivity (to varying degrees), and a clear need for further validation.

I'm excited that our preregistration template for simulation studies is now available on OSF!
See below for a brief interview with the Center for Open Science about the template and why we created it..

Center for Open Science @cos.io · Jul 29

Simulation studies are widely used, but have historically lacked clear guidance around preregistration.

In response to this gap, a team of researchers have developed a new template for preregistering simulation studies, now available on OSF.

🚀 Read our Q&A: www.cos.io/blog/intr...

Introducing the Simulation Studies Preregistration Template: Q&A with Björn S. Siepe, František Bartoš, and Samuel Pawel

Initially submitted through COS’s open call for community-designed preregistration templates, the Simulation Studies Template is now part of the expanding collection of preregistration resources available on the OSF.

New preprint🤓 LLMs have great potential in the educational context! If LLMs reliably simulate survey responses, they could be used to test intervention scenarios, represent hard-to-reach populations, etc. But are generated survey responses psychometrically valid? It depends. arxiv.org/abs/2506.13384

Can we use features of dynamic networks (e.g. centrality) to improve treatment selection and outcome prediction?

New preprint on the topic: We highlight the role of uncertainty & introduce a Bayesian multilevel approach for uncertainty quantification of network features 🧵
osf.io/preprints/ps...

Image with three main boxes with recommendations for applied researchers on conceptualization, estimation, and interpretation when using network features.
Conceptualization:
- Discuss why a network feature should be relevant for a given treatment or outcome
- Consider plausible effect size and sample size needed to detect an association with a distal outcome

Estimation:
- Carefully choose preprocessing and network estimation methods
- Follow good practices for predictive models (e.g., cross-validation, out-of-sample validation)

Interpretation:
- Consider uncertainty in node selection and network feature regression
- Compare network features with simpler time series features (e.g., person-specific mean or SD)
