Narcissistic admiration vs rivalry, authentic vs hubristic pride: Do these constructs fail to carve nature at its joints? Or is @dingding_peng’s obsessive (vs harmonious) passion for the topic just a sign that she’s harboring malicious (vs benign) envy? the100.ci/2023/06/13/dis…
Great post! Model equivalence really is a tough problem and awareness of it needs to make its way to more researchers. Substantive model validation is barely anyone's priority. Note #8 is very depressing because that really is the most powerful test available and no one seems to care for it.
@the100ci @dingding_peng Thanks for the entertaining, thoughtful and thought-provocative blog post. Perhaps I will read it with my students when I am teaching factor analysis. Not sure if they will understand everything, but it would certainly be more engaging for them than a „normal“ article.
@the100ci @dingding_peng This is very good, Julia. Let me also add good-guilt, bad-shame models to the long roll.
@the100ci @dingding_peng Does nature have joints? This is something I wonder about.
