If you are reading this toot and is at #NCME2023, drop me a DM. Happy to chat about Diagnostic Classification Models(DCMs/CDMs), Bayesian Networks, and Classroom Assessments!

Why can’t we call Quantitative Psychologist psychostatisticians like we call people doing quantitative stuff in bio as biostatistician ? 😁 #quantpsych #biostats #psychostats

It would be cool if ETS or NCME started a mastodon instance for quantitative psychology folks 😁 #ChristmasWishes #SantaIsNotReal #psychometrics #quantpsych #EdPsych

@ojala I find #markdown with #latex support and instant rendering a pretty much good user experience. I use #MarkText editor.

I tried TeXmacs which was supposed to be a replacement to LaTeX but it didn’t stick. You have to remember a lot of hot keys to get a good #UX from TeXmacs.

@bdeonovic thank you. Yes I have read Bishop’s book. I was looking for applied stuff and already existing tools in this space. In #Julia, I know of #BayesNets.jl

#RStats #Mastodon, throw me some good resources to get started on #BayesianNetworks. Currently I am thinking of "Bayesian Networks with examples in R" by Scutari & Denis #bnlearn

Since I'm on a #FOSS instance, I thought I'll share the top 5 #foss tools I use & recommend:

1. #JuliaLang:For Computational Modeling & Data Science

2. #ExcaliDraw: For Digital Whiteboarding

3. #MarkText: WYSIWYG Markdown Editor

4. #QuartoPub: For technical publishing (presentations, blogging, WiKis, Textbooks etc.) & computational notebooks. #Quarto + JuliaLang + #ExcaliDraw = 🔥

5. #DrawIO: Diagramming for publications.

Re#introduction 👋

I'm a researcher who works at the intersection of #EducationalPsychology (how humans learn) and #Psychometrics (development of statistical tools for the objective measurement of skills & knowledge). I'm particularly interested in the measurement & modeling issues in the domain. More recently I have been looking at the marriage between #CausalInference & Psychometric Modeling. I also build & publish #OpenSource #JuliaLang packages to support my research. #EdPsych #CausalInf.
