Are you tired of analyzing your nominal and ordinal variables like its the 1950s? Then read @sociologicalsci.bsky.social today and see if ME inequality and total ME are right for you. We develop new methods for summarizing effects for nominal/ordinal independent and dependent variables.

Super happy to see this great paper by @rutheva.bsky.social, @rosacheesman.bsky.social , Ole Andreassen and myself out now!
