Long‐run confidence: Estimating uncertainty when using long‐run multipliers

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Researchers are often interested in the long‐run relationship (LRR) between variables where the dependent variable has dynamic properties. Though determining the long‐run multiplier (LRM) for an independent variable is straightforward, correctly estimating the significance of the LRM is often difficult, especially when time series are short ...

Student profiles of change in formative assessment behaviour: Replication and evaluation for grade prediction

British Journal of Educational Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract As students learn and practice new skills in university courses, their behaviour can change in response to competing demands and increasing content complexity. However, most metrics used to evaluate study behaviour focus on the number or sequence of activities rather than on the change of behaviour.
