You’ve probably heard about Laura Bringmann: among other things, she developed the multilevel extension of the vector autoregressive network model many of us are using today, and was the first to apply it to psychopathological data (e.g., 1, 2).
Laura defended her PhD “Dynamical networks in psychology: More than a pretty picture?” successfully last week. It not only features an impressive number of great papers, but also a very critical discussion that mentions numerous important challenges of current network models estimated in time-series data.
