Why You Should Center Variables in Statistics

[@alicehatzoglou5683]

Hi Dr. Geiser, thanks a lot for these explanations! Would you perhaps know a resource (e.g. an article) that covers the use of median-centering as opposed to mean-centering? My survey data (in psychology) is not normally distributed, and is slightly left-skewed. Should therefore median-centering be preferred for the interaction term of my multiple regression..? 😕

Thank you!

Hi Christian, I have been learning SEM from your channel in the past months. Thanks for everything! I’m wondering if you could make a video teaching us how to do a moderation analysis when the moderator is a latent variable. I find very few resources on KZbin or in SEM textbooks. Thank you!

Thank you so much, this helped a lot! Maybe I will pass statistics after all :)

Fingers crossed! ;-) Best, Christian Geiser

Clear explanation. There is an annoying hum in the background.
