Nice to see this work is now published in the new journal Collective Intelligence as of yesterday: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.… The published version is better (less wrong on the effect of non-identical preferences) and Open Access.
New preprint out today on decision-making in sparse social networks: arxiv.org/abs/2110.13543 Two key takeways: 1. In a sparse network, rational agents develop sequence-agnostic social responses that depend only on the difference between how many others choose each option

I have an N=1300 data set with 9 variables. All have some missingness. Some are roughly Gaussian, but others are best described as ordinal. If I want to accommodate--but not fret over--their distributions, would *pedictive mean matching* multiple imputation be the way to go?

"How to cover letter"; a brief thread from a scientific editor's perspective Yes, in brief editors do read cover letters although like myself, most pay far less attention than to the abstract and main elements of the paper! First, a few "do's"
