Within and Between Podcast
Along with my friend and co-host Dr. Sara Hart, I run a podcast about the methods and meta-science behind developmental science. The name Within and Between refers to the concepts of within-person change (individual development) and between-person change (differences between how people grow). It also is a reference to how we statistically model education data (variability within classrooms vs. variability between classrooms). You can reach the podcast on twitter at @within_between.

Mplus Helper for Latent Class Analysis (LCA)
|
If you have ever run an LCA in Mplus, you know that looking through the results is cumbersome and time consuming. I worked with James Uanhoro to develop a helper tool to help you analyze the results from multiple LCA models more quickly.
Paste your syntax into this tool and it will automatically generate code to run any number of models you specify using the local Mplus software on your computer. It will also spit out a collated excel document with the model comparison statistics for you. Read more about it HERE. Cite it like this: Uanhoro, J. O. & Logan, J. A. R. (2017).
