(2023) investigated different sources of heterogeneity in exploratory factor analysis in their paper \"Evaluating Avoidable Heterogeneity in Exploratory Factor Analysis Results.\" Their study is an important step toward understanding the volatility of factor analysis results that potentially impair replication attempts in psychology. In this short commentary, we want to address the question which heterogeneity is actually \"avoidable\" and which heterogeneity can also be desirable in an exploratory analysis. Furthermore, we emphasize the need of greater research transparency when performing and reporting exploratory factor analyses and discuss the potential of preregistrations to avoid unwanted or \"avoidable\" heterogeneity. When being transparent about methodological decisions and conceptual assumptions that lead to specific configurations, we believe that it is possible to embrace the heterogeneity in exploratory factor analysis and still develop more robust measurement models.

To resolve this theory-description gap, we review the generative modeling approach, which involves formally specifying how behavior is generated within individuals, and in turn how generative mechanisms vary across individuals. Generative modeling shifts our focus away from estimating descriptive statistical \"effects\" toward estimating psychologically interpretable parameters, while simultaneously enhancing the reliability and validity of our measures. We demonstrate the utility of generative modeling in the context of the \"reliability paradox,\" a phenomenon wherein replicable group effects (e.g., Stroop effect) fail to capture individual differences (e.g., low test-retest reliability). Simulations and empirical data from the Implicit Association Test and Stroop, Flanker, Posner, and delay discounting tasks show that generative models yield (a) more theoretically informative parameters, and (b) higher test-retest reliability estimates relative to traditional approaches, illustrating their potential for enhancing theory development.

These data arise in various settings, such as intensive, longitudinal studies using ecological momentary assessments and wearable devices. Examples include 24-hr sleep-wake behaviors, sleep architecture, and macronutrients. This article presents an innovative method for analyzing multilevel compositional data using Bayesian inference. We describe the theoretical details of the data and the models, and outline the steps necessary to implement this method. We introduce the R package multilevelcoda to facilitate the application of this method and illustrate using a real data example. An extensive parameter recovery simulation study verified the robust performance of the method. Across all conditions investigated in the simulation study, the fitted models had minimal convergence issues (convergence rate > 99%) and achieved excellent quality parameter estimates and inference, with an average bias of 0.00 (range = -0.09 to 0.05) and coverage of 0.95 (range = 0.93 to 0.97). We conclude the article with recommendations on the use of the Bayesian multilevel compositional data analysis. We hope to promote wider application of this method to gain novel and robust answers to scientific questions.
