Hurrah. Last word of the conference was ‘drinks’ #marpor2014 Jawohl!
Wait, no - there’s more #marpor2014 As is traditional, Volkens suggests a book.
Bara thanks everyone. For everything. #marpor2014 (and that was it).
Adams: “47% was an unintended communication” #marpor2014 Not really, just an unintended audience.
Danke #marpor2014
James Adams does the keynote #marpor2014
control-L please #marpor2014
2 hours from the finish and we have our first instance of enthusiastic mic whacking. #marpor2014
Everyone was wondering who would wade into the ‘pledges are a population not a sample’ issue. Däubler dons his waterproof boots #marpor2014
Pétry: pledges in a manifesto are the population not a sample-“these are serious”-so no error bars #marpor2014 Not sure about that reasoning
Pétry & Duval: Canadian politicians mostly keep their policy pledges: http://www.poltext.org/en/polimeter/harper #marpor2014
“Our invitation shows we are more open than it seemed” #marpor2014 But you have let us out yet…
And at the last minute, Gemenis spills their collective pint #marpor2014 Volkens starts talking philosophy of science #heavyArtillery
Valence issues? #marpor2014 So what are they if it’s all relative-emphasis driven?
“you’re out of time”
“then I’ll speed up”
Not quite the intended conclusion… #marpor2014
Gemenis: better manifesto substitutes are available and should be coded into the CMP data, but haven’t been. #marpor2014
Well I’m not live tweeting that sci***olgy analogy #marpor2014
aaaand we’re back #marpor2014
Ohhh we’ve gone off the deep end #marpor2014
14:05 and we’ve got the first meme on a slide #marpor2014
@kenbenoit now talking about how to calculate inflation and Dr Who #marpor2014
“we should embrace our inductive inner self” #marpor2014
Apparently, I’m a Benoit “associate” #marpor2014 Not sure if this is a promotion or demotion.
t-10 second for @kenbenoit talk #marpor2014
“There is not an optimal solution in general”. That sounds right. #marpor2014
Scales from Team ‘Lowe et al 2011’ win a measurement invariance prize. (If we believe huge SEM models, which, err, we don’t) #marpor2014
Franzmann talking about measurement invariance. Kind of the crucial issue with CMP data-based measures #marpor2014
Excellent: this is a panel in which everyone converges on something like correspondence analysis as a scaling measure (again). #marpor2014
Klingeman: “I continue my gospel…” And continue he does. #marpor2014
It’s 11:35 and the first huge excel table of probabilities has arrived #marpor2014
