Po-Hsien Huang

I am Po-Hsien Huang (黃柏僩), a psychometrician in Taiwan. My account psyphh can be pronounced as sai-fu (財布) which means wallet in Japanese.

My current research interest is in developing quantitative methods from both psychomatric and machine learning perspective. Before that, my research is in understanding how to correctly and efficiently apply structural equation modeling (SEM) for discovering relationships among both observable variables and latent factors.
