In two previous blog posts, we identified a fundamental challenge to community detection in psychometric network analysis: Commonly used algorithms assign each node to one particular community. One of these blog posts was an R tutorial I wrote, the other a guest blog by Tessa Blanken and Marie Deserno on …

7 new papers on network replicability

Since replication, replicability, and generalizability have become such important topics in the field of network psychometrics — arguably the topic of the year 2017 — I want to highlight seven new papers that came out in the last weeks on the topic. 7 papers on replicability Fried et al. 2017 …

Network replicability: a cross-cultural PTSD study across of clinical datasets

Let’s start with a teaser: This blog post is a summary of the first psychological network study ever looking at the replicability of network models in 4 datasets, with a total N of 2,782 (Preprint). The paper is fully reproducible, and includes the covariance matrices of the four datasets so …

Six new network papers, including a review of the empirical literature

The last weeks have been pretty busy with teaching, traveling, and writing that I didn’t find the time I wanted to for blogging. To catch up, this blog post will feature several new network papers (in alphabetical order by first author). It is becoming increasingly hard to keep up with …
