Stephanie Wermelinger; Marco Bleiker; Moritz M. Daum – Infant and Child Development, 2025
Children's fuzziness leads to increased variance in the data, data loss, and high dropout rates in developmental studies. This study investigated the importance of 20 factors on the person (child, caregiver, experimenter) and situation (task, method, time, and date) level for the data quality as indicated via the number of valid trials in 11…

Maxi Schulz; Malte Kramer; Oliver Kuss; Tim Mathes – Research Synthesis Methods, 2024
In sparse data meta-analyses (with few trials or zero events), conventional methods may distort results. Although better-performing one-stage methods have become available in recent years, their implementation remains limited in practice. This study examines the impact of using conventional methods compared to one-stage models by re-analysing…

David Bruns-Smith; Oliver Dukes; Avi Feller; Elizabeth L. Ogburn – Grantee Submission, 2024
We provide a novel characterization of augmented balancing weights, also known as automatic debiased machine learning (AutoDML). These popular "doubly robust" or "de-biased machine learning estimators" combine outcome modeling with balancing weights -- weights that achieve covariate balance directly in lieu of estimating and…

Trans* and genderqueer student retention and liberation is integral for equity in undergraduate education. While STEM leadership calls for data-supported systemic change, the erasure and othering of trans* and genderqueer identities in STEM research perpetuates cisnormative narratives. We sought to characterize how sex and gender data are…

S. Mabungane; S. Ramroop; H. Mwambi – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2023
The issue of missing data raises concerns in all statistical and educational research. In this study, we focus on missing data in school-based assessment data generated by progressed high school learners (those who did not meet the promotional requirements for their current grades but were allowed to move to the next grade because of policy…

Ibrahima Dina Diatta; André Berchtold – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2023
Using secondary data has many advantages, but there are also many limitations, including the lack of relevant information. This article draws on a previous study that used secondary data to investigate substance use in young, elite athletes. Three types of missing data appeared: missing data, lack of information about the data collection process,…

Ziqian Xu – Grantee Submission, 2022
With the prevalence of missing data in social science research, it is necessary to use methods for handling missing data. One framework in which data with missing values can still be used for parameter estimation is the Bayesian framework. In this tutorial, different missing data mechanisms including Missing Completely at Random, Missing at…

Yan Xia; Selim Havan – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2024
Although parallel analysis has been found to be an accurate method for determining the number of factors in many conditions with complete data, its application under missing data is limited. The existing literature recommends that, after using an appropriate multiple imputation method, researchers either apply parallel analysis to every imputed…

Grund, Simon; Lüdtke, Oliver; Robitzsch, Alexander – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2023
Multiple imputation (MI) is a popular method for handling missing data. In education research, it can be challenging to use MI because the data often have a clustered structure that need to be accommodated during MI. Although much research has considered applications of MI in hierarchical data, little is known about its use in cross-classified…

Isbell, Daniel R.; Brown, Dan; Chen, Meishan; Derrick, Deidre J.; Ghanem, Romy; Arvizu, María Nelly Gutiérrez; Schnur, Erin; Zhang, Meixiu; Plonsky, Luke – Modern Language Journal, 2022
Scientific progress depends on the integrity of data and research findings. Intentionally distorting research data and findings constitutes scientific misconduct and introduces falsehoods into the scientific record. Unintentional distortions arising from questionable research practices (QRPs), such as unsystematically deleting outliers, pose…

Du, Han; Enders, Craig; Keller, Brian; Bradbury, Thomas N.; Karney, Benjamin R. – Grantee Submission, 2022
Missing data are exceedingly common across a variety of disciplines, such as educational, social, and behavioral science areas. Missing not at random (MNAR) mechanism where missingness is related to unobserved data is widespread in real data and has detrimental consequence. However, the existing MNAR-based methods have potential problems such as…

Jiang, Shiyan; Kahn, Jennifer – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2020
Data visualization technologies are powerful tools for telling evidence-based narratives about oneself and the world. This paper contributes to the literature on data science education by examining the sociotechnical practices of data wrangling--strategies for selecting and managing large, aggregated datasets to produce a model and story. We…

Ben Van Dusen; Heidi Cian; Jayson Nissen; Lucy Arellano; Adrienne D. Woods – Sociology of Education, 2024
This investigation examines the efficacy of multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy (MAIHDA) over fixed-effects models when performing intersectional studies. The research questions are as follows: (1) What are typical strata representation rates and outcomes on physics research-based assessments? (2) To what…

Jiang Li; Chen Zhu; Mark Goh – Research Evaluation, 2025
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a widely adopted non-parametric technique for evaluating R&D performance. However, traditional DEA models often struggle to provide reliable solutions in the presence of data uncertainty. To address this limitation, this study develops a novel robust super-efficiency DEA approach to evaluate R&D…

Corple, Danielle J.; Linabary, Jasmine R. – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2020
Many ethical concerns in online big data research stem from a pervasive assumption that data are disembodied and place-less. While some scholars have begun addressing the ethical dilemmas of big data, few offer approaches or tools that fully grapple with the situatedness of online data and its ethical implications. We draw on feminist new…
