A tutorial for understanding SEM using R: Where do all the numbers come from?
Abstract Structural equation modeling (SEM) is often seen as a complex and difficult method, especially for those who want to understand how the numbers in SEM software output are actually computed. Although many open‐source SEM tools are now available—especially in the R programming environment—looking into their source code to understand the ...

Latent Poisson count models for action count data from technology‐enhanced assessments
Abstract Recent advances in computerized assessments have enabled the use of innovative item formats (e.g., drag‐and‐drop, scenario‐based), necessitating a flexible model that can capture systematic influence of item types on action counts. In this study, we present a refinement scheme that can explicitly model common features of items and allows ...

Block scheduling in practice: An optimal decomposition strategy for nonidentical operating rooms
Abstract We develop and implement a Master Surgery Schedule for a real‐life hospital, assigning operating room (OR) time to surgical specialties over a multi‐week horizon. Through action research, we identify a critical operational challenge: the issue of split blocks. Split blocks allow two specialties to share an OR on the same day—one in the morning,

Is economics self‐correcting? Replications in the American Economic Review
Abstract This paper reviews the impact of replications published as comments in the American Economic Review between 2010 and 2020. We examine their citations and influence on the original papers' (OPs) subsequent citations. Our results show that comments are barely cited, and they do not affect the OP's citations—even if the comment diagnoses ...
