I am a 4th year PhD student in the Quantitative Methods program of the Department of Psychology at York University, supervised by Dr. David B. Flora.
My interest in the QM program at York arose due to my concern that statistical analysis could be and has been used to blind ourselves. It follows that I am interested in the powerful and revealing quantitative analysis of data.
My research currently focuses on:
The development of fast and robust Integrated Generalized Structured Component Analysis Trees (IGSCA-Trees) in the R package cSEM
Interpreting multiverse analyses and understanding how multiverse analyses inform our theories about science vs. theories about statistics
The downstream consequences of when cluster size itself is a causal variable in multilevel/hierarchical models
Using philosophy of science, psychology and statistics to provide a justification for the application of machine-learning structural equation modeling methods called ‘Falsificatory Data Analysis’
