Zazueta-Hernández, Jorge Antonio; López-Barrientos, José Daniel – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2021
This paper walks the reader through a simple mathematical characterization of the popular children's game, "Chutes and Ladders," focusing primarily on Monte Carlo simulation. The focus is then shifted to the board game "No Te Enojes" in order to analyze the implications of the introduction of strategy. The presence of strategy…

Melissa G. Wolf; Daniel McNeish – Grantee Submission, 2023
To evaluate the fit of a confirmatory factor analysis model, researchers often rely on fit indices such as SRMR, RMSEA, and CFI. These indices are frequently compared to benchmark values of 0.08, 0.06, and 0.96, respectively, established by Hu and Bentler (1999). However, these indices are affected by model characteristics and their sensitivity to…

Gin, Brian; Sim, Nicholas; Skrondal, Anders; Rabe-Hesketh, Sophia – Grantee Submission, 2020
We propose a dyadic Item Response Theory (dIRT) model for measuring interactions of pairs of individuals when the responses to items represent the actions (or behaviors, perceptions, etc.) of each individual (actor) made within the context of a dyad formed with another individual (partner). Examples of its use include the assessment of…
