As seen in my local coffee shop this morning: an illustration of sampling bias

I’m presenting in a panel with @MashaBertling & @catarm2010 on the ways measurement error influences causal inference methods, come see me talk about using latent variable models in RDD.

@SLitschwartz It's context-dependent (vs. parallel forms, which as you know is always lower), but for performance assessments see Shavelson, Ruiz-Primo, & Wiley (1999). nepc.colorado.edu/sites/default/…
Haertel's 2006 reliability chapter also has a good discussion in Section 3.3.

Does anyone have a good citation for the fact that test-retest reliabilities tend to be lower than internal consistency reliabilities?

Bright-sided was a major influence on how I think about psychometrics and measurement before I even knew that was what I wanted to study. So much of her writing has changed how I see American society. May her memory be a blessing.

Sad news. Barbara Ehrenreich, my one and only mother, died on September 1, a few days after her 81st birthday. She was, she made clear, ready to go. She was never much for thoughts and prayers, but you can honor her memory by loving one another, and by fighting like hell.

@MemeMedianMode Also you should look at the work of @maibennett , she’s in this space and so might have relevant papers

@MemeMedianMode Are you looking to use machine learning to create the propensity scores?
English
How about machine learning plus propensity score matching?
Mark Chin@MemeMedianMode
Do you have a favorite paper in education, education policy, or econ of ed that uses machine learning techniques, in particular, LASSO regression? Looking for some models.

Legitimately surprising that the Massachusetts State legislature passed a statewide housing production bill (MBTA Communities) that not even Somerville (densest city in New England) is compliant with. Here’s the presentation we received this week: somervillecityma.iqm2.com/Citizens/FileO…

@reidph This is great thanks, and I might. I’m still drafting the thing I’m writing, so I don’t totally know what I want and I’m still in the read things to clarify my thoughts stage. So I definitely might follow up for more information.

@SLitschwartz If you are looking for qualitative/practitioner accounts of this, lmk. It's definitely something we work with and are tracking

I’m writing a paper about administrative burdens, what papers do people recommend on the administrative burden of the FAFSA?

my ideal bar is quiet, full of natural light, offers tea, has comfortable chairs for reading, and upon further consideration is a public library

I was taught to include a site level fixed effect in a multi-site RDD but I can’t trace this back to any specific paper. Does anyone know a good citation for this? I understand why we do it but I could use a citation showing this is what people do.

Curious about how to best monitor test data quality in COVID times & beyond? Read our new article in EMIP: doi-org.ezp-prod1.hul.harvard.edu/10.1111/emip.1… with @AndrewDeanHo and Laurie Davis. Here’s an intro 🧵(my first!):

The most popular game at my kids preschool is apparently pretending to be on an airplane, and that’s some real 2022 mood right there.

@MemeMedianMode Lemon curd is surprisingly easy for how fancy it looks and then you can keep a jar in the fridge and spread it on stuff

We were both in a burrito place in the mission after bars closed. He ate his entire burrito and then asked if I was gonna finish mine. I should have understood that I was signing up to spend the rest of my life defending my leftovers ;)

@slungaardmumma And if you’re interested is cross-site variation by state, I should soon have a blog post out on how to do that
English
I have no doubt we will find out the answer to this in a working paper very soon. (Leave no RD unexploited!)
