Introduction

Quantitude is a podcast dedicated to all things quantitative ranging from the relevant to the completely irrelevant. In this episode, we attempt to resolve long fast-ring relationship issues between the multilevel modeling and structural equation modeling approaches to growth curve analysis. Along the way, we also discuss first dates, jets and sharks, cubs and cardinals, Montague's and Capulets, Saint-Tau Beer, Thunderdome, Stupid Liseral Tricks, Pressure Math, Dirty Secrets, Selfishness, and National High Coup Day.
