In this week’s episode Greg and Patrick talk about both structural equation modeling and directed acyclic graphs, or DAGs, where they are similar and where they are different, and try to provide a Rosetta Stone for translating back and forth between the two. Along the way they also discuss pop, garage sales, thinking about excessive […]

In this week’s episode Greg and Patrick talk about exploratory structural equation modeling (or ESEM), a technique drawing upon the strengths of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis methods and able to be embedded within structural equation models. Along they way they also discuss crab vs. crabs, Most Dangerous Catch, Next Day Blinds, smash-and-grab, sharp pencils,

In this week’s episode Greg and Patrick revisit a topic they addressed in their 2nd-ever episode: statistical power. Here they continue their discussion by attempting to clarify the power of what, and they explore ways of obtaining meaningful power estimates using the structural equation modeling framework. Along the way they also discuss tearing arms off, German

In this week’s episode Patrick and Greg talk about partial least squares, a technique that resembles structural equation modeling but with a lot of flexibility, including but not limited to its ability to accommodate both reflective and formative constructs. Along the way they also mention dark Red Bubble, Sheeps Kin, snorting SEM, the Coors Light
