Moderated multiple regression (MMR) has become a fundamental tool for applied researchers, since many effects are expected to vary based on other variables. However, the inherent complexity of MMR creates formidable challenges for adequately performing power analysis on interaction effects to ensure reliable and replicable research results. Prior…

In this paper is proposed a straightforward model selection approach that indicates the most suitable count regression model based on relevant data characteristics. The proposed selection approach includes four of the most popular count regression models (i.e. Poisson, negative binomial, and respective zero-inflated frameworks). Moreover, it…

Researchers in many disciplines work with ranking data. This data type is unique in that it is often deterministic in nature (the ranks of items "k"-1 determine the rank of item "k"), and the difference in a pair of rank scores separated by "k" units is equivalent regardless of the actual values of the two ranks in…
