This paper on intensive longitudinal reliability by @SeCastroAl & @bringmann_laura is one of the best I've read in a while -- the review so was thorough, the code was fantastic, and it answered every question I had about IL reliability. Def check it out! https://t.co/mxrgdxKlco

1/2 Our new preprint shows how to estimate internal consistency reliability in EMA data: ➡️n~1150, 3 months data, 4 scales ➡️6 nomothetic & idiographic methods ➡️2 timescales (4/day, 1/week) ➡️2 languages (ENG vs NL) ➡️separation of between & within person reliability.

Excited to share our latest preprint in collaboration with @bringmann_laura, Jason Back, and Siwei Liu. In this manuscript, we explain different approaches to estimate the reliability of ESM data while showing how to use them with empirical data.

Thanks to this contribution, empirical researchers interested in analyzing their data with the TV-DPCM will also be able to assess how well the model fits their data.

In a nutshell, when using the PPMC method, one compares given test statistics as computed based on the observed data to the distribution of the given test statistics as computed based on simulated data. Large differences imply a lack of fit.

The test statistics were developed within the posterior predictive model checking method (PPMC). This is a Bayesian procedure commonly used to assess the goodness of fit of Bayesian models.

In this paper, we proposed several test statistics to assess the goodness of fit of the time-varying partial credit model (TV-DPCM). This is an IRT model to analyze multivariate time series data. For more details on the model, see our previous publication:

In the empirical example, we also show how to compute and interpret the item characteristic functions and the information functions. These are core features in IRT modeling that provide further insights into the quality of the scale.
