About the article and figure 2b.
Ceiling effects are not only measurement artefacts and they do not always induce spurious interaction. Consider an educational transition.

Group A (high SES) always does it, while Group B (low SES) does it as function of a factor Z (i.e. depending on teachers’ recommendation, grades, PGI etc).

Any hints who could give a crash course on research use of AI for quantitative social and behavioral scientists? Preferably in the following few months. All well versed in using statistical software (mostly Stata, quite a few at least the basic stuff on R) but most of the audience would not know too much Python or other programming languages beforehand. We would arrange the course on-site in Turku, Finland

With regard to a correct interpretation of the findings of our statistical models, in particular in papers submitted European Sociological Review (but also and elsewhere):

Please tell your PhD students to avoid the misuse of statistical significance testing and to focus (also) on the substantive significance of their coefficients. In case tell them to read this (but there are tens of other similar articles):

This will be an accessible introduction to the topic in a friendly, safe environment.

We will learn the basics and discuss how to apply them in our work.

Just put up a fresh version of our paper "Within-School Achievement Sorting in Comprehensive and Tracked Systems" on #SocArXiv.

In comprehensive school systems, student select into friendship groups that are more homogenous in achievement.

But, this offsetting effect is not enough to undo the benefits of comprehensive schooling.

Come for the pretty graphs, stay for the excessive robustness checks!
