Picture
In our lab, we analyze complex datasets to convert the raw information into meaningful and actionable stories. We aim to identify the optimal analysis strategies to test the research hypotheses and promote the effective communication of results.
 
We map the research questions of interest onto the most appropriate set of quantitative models to fit the models to data at hand.

Some examples of analytic approaches we use are:
 
  • Structural equation modeling,
  • Multilevel modeling,
  • Categorical data analysis,
  • Growth curve analysis,
  • Mixture modeling,
  • Integrative data analysis,
  • Statistical mediation analysis,
  • Longitudinal models,
  • Psychometric analysis,
  • Propensity score analysis and other quasi-experimental methods, to name a few.

Testing Two-Wave Data: A Monte Carlo Simulation Study
 
In this study, we compare the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), difference score, and residual change score methods in testing the group effect for pretest–posttest data in terms of statistical power and Type I error rates using a Monte Carlo simulation.

Achieving accurate confidence interval estimation for indirect effects
 
In this journal article, we demonstrate why normal theory confidence intervals for indirect effects are often less accurate than those obtained from the asymmetric distribution of the product or from bootstrapping.

Bayesian mediation analysis for studies with small samples

​The analysis of mediated effect in prevention and intervention programs can be sometimes problematic if the sample size is small. A solution to this problem is to use the Bayesian perspective to estimate the mediated effect.
