Dear community,

What an interesting topic!! So many interesting points you all have made. I have annotated some of those quotes/readings you mention to check them further.

I have been working with regressions lately and since I ''need'' the ''model to be valid'' I have been dealing with the assumptions. After your comments, I might see with another eyes the expression ''goodness of fit''.

I have been reading Andy Field (who is quite funny) for a general reading and, after that, Andrew Gelman for regression purposes (who makes very good points regarding causality and prediction by the way).

So, having said that, the purpose of the message is, If I may, to ask for your knowledge: what other readings/articles would you recommend for multivariate analysis (in social science)? Of course, there are just too many techniques for them to be in one book. I am specially interested in regressions (logistic and multilevel) and factorial/cluster analysis


PS: I just notice that today is Saint George. I don't know about you but here in Spain people gives roses to their love or dear ones and also gift them a book. I don't know if I am breaking tradition by 'requesting' a reading. Apologies to St George for that. As for all of you, let me send you a rose (link to imgbb.com): https://ibb.co/CtdgJ1H

All the best,
Alejandro

Committing the invidious median split is an instance of an overly simple measurement model.
