About

Principal Survey Scientist, Abt Associates (http://www.abtassociates.com)

Primary areas of expertise: survey statistics, structural equation and latent variable modeling, Stata programming, microeconometrics, resampling methods

Given that I spent those freaking three minutes to fill in this profile information, I think that the users with generic user0123456 lack respect for the community. My response to their questions is limited, and it is intentional.

The views expressed are my own, independent of my employer.
