As part of a select group of students, I conducted advanced statistical research on longitudinal psychological data, focusing on methods for handling missingness and complex data structures. I explored statistical frameworks commonly applied to behavioral data, such as factor analysis, structural equation modeling, and mixed-effects models, with an emphasis on extending these methods to clustered and repeated measures designs.Using R, I developed and ran Monte Carlo simulations, applied multiple imputation techniques, and built scripts for cleaning, organizing, and analyzing datasets with dropout patterns. I also produced publication-ready tables and visualizations to support model interpretation. This experience deepened my technical expertise and strengthened my ability to turn complex statistical methods into practical, data-driven solutions.
