The Dilemma of the Only Child. Alissa D. Eischens. Birth Order and Its Repercussions. Adler and Birth Order. Adler (Weiten, 1998), best known for his theories regarding striving for superiority, was also concerned with the effects of birth order on personality.

a broken thought

Thoughts from SoCal VR Conf. July 14th, 2015 Posted in technology. Last Sunday, Jeremy. And I attended the SoCal VR. Conference at UC Irvine. I was excited to try out some real virtual reality equipment instead of just reading about it. To be fair, I do have a Google Cardboard. But it’s just not the same thing–the sweet spot (area of the lenses that are in focus) on Cardboard is way too small to give any real immersion. The first demo, created by Liv Erickson. Will people build web games in VR? The progr...

Installing old R packages for new installations - Jason A. French

http://www.jason-french.com/blog/2014/07/14/updating-r-packages-after-new-installations

Jason A. French. Installing Old R Packages for New Installations. New versions of R are pushed frequently to fix bugs and address performance concerns. However, in order to avoid conflicts between R and packages that were compiled for older versions of R, every upgrade defines a new system and user library location in which to install packages (e.g., /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.1/). So how does one avoid installing each package manually? Re-installing R packages for newer versions.

Jason A. French. Faster SSCC Access Using Bash. I use SSH regularly to login remotely to servers for experiments and data analysis. For instance, Northwestern’s Social Sciences Computing Cluster. Is available with an SSH remote login and using X11. Forwarding, I can access RStudio. And run analyses that require more memory than my office iMac has. However, logging into the SSCC over SSH isn’t as quick and launching a program in Spotlight. Launching RStudio Remotely over SSH. Ssh -c arcfour,blowfish-cbc.

Faster Tetrachoric Correlations - Jason A. French

http://www.jason-french.com/blog/2013/11/07/faster-tetrachoric-correlations

Jason A. French. What are tetra- and polychoric correlations? Polychoric correlations estimate the correlation between two theorized normal distributions given two ordinal variables. In psychological research, much of our data fits this definition. For example, many survey studies used with introductory psychology pools use Likert scale items. The responses to these items typically range from 1 (Strongly disagree) to 6 (Strongly agree). However, we don’t. At the SAPA Project. Presently, we use. Everythin...
