In this week&apos;s episode, Greg and Patrick talk about the challenges of combining confirmatory factor analysis and multilevel data, and the underappreciated but absolutely critical role that theory plays in choosing the proper model for your constructs. Along the way they also discuss learning in a second language, torn meniscuseseses, concert C trumpets, nosy neighbors, forts of equations, artillery commanders, saluting cadets, the huffing closet, Hungry Hungry Hippos, Rock&apos;em Sock&apos;em Robots, lactose intolerance, Greg&apos;s ATM PIN, our circle of friend, and configural configurations. Stay in contact with Quantitude! <ul> <li>Twitter: <a href='https://twitter.com/quantitudepod'>@quantitudepod</a> </li> <li>Web page: <a href='https://quantitudepod.org/'>quantitudepod.org</a> </li> <li>Merch: <a href='https://www.redbubble.com/shop/quantitude'>redbubble.com</a> </li> </ul>

S5E22 Survival Analysis in the Social Sciences: It's About Time

A podcast dedicated to all things quantitative, ranging from the relevant to the highly irrelevant. Co-hosts Patrick Curran and Greg Hancock talk about serious statistical topics, but without taking themselves too seriously. Think: CarTalk hi-jacked by the two grumpy old guys from the Muppets, grousing about quantitative methods, statistics, and data analysis, all presented to you with the production value of a 6th grade school project. But in a good way.
