I said this in my first-year grad research methods class, but it bears repeating. There are people who will tell you that you are not smart enough to understand something. Those people either don't understand the nature of intelligence, don't have your best interests at heart, or both. Ignore them.

I’m pleased to announce to #polisky our forthcoming APSR article, “Measurement that Matches Theory.” In it, we introduce a Bayesian IRT framework that allows users to identify latent dimensions with substantive theoretical meaning. The paper is open access for now here: tinyurl.com/48ktz5jc. (1/8)🧵

In case you don't want to watch the debate, but do want to think about elections, you can head over to journals.plos.org/plosone/arti... and check out our new paper on campaign spending (#polisky). We estimate the effects of money at the levels of both the individual campaign and the whole Congress.

For polisky or related fields: If you're looking for an alternative to the two week "math camp" with which many social science programs start, I put together an online, work-at-your-own-pace-over-the-summer version here: daveasiegel.com/teaching/math-course. Happy to answer questions about it.
