Anna Wysocki

Anna Wysocki is a researcher in the Department of Psychology at the University of California, Davis, whose work addresses methodological questions in psychological science, particularly those involving longitudinal panel designs and network models. Wysocki has published on the estimation and interpretation of cross-lagged panel networks, the selection of penalty parameters in regularized network estimation, and the conditions under which nonregularized approaches are appropriate. A recurring concern across this work is the role of causal assumptions in statistical practice, as reflected in research on whether statistical control can be applied without causal justification. Wysocki has also examined how stability information can be incorporated into cross-sectional estimates.
