I’m not very familiar with academia, but have you considered sending this to the authors of the paper to a) see if there are any mistakes you made and b) help them avoid similar errors in the future? But I acknowledge that this could lead to a long email exchange that you may not want.
I’ve politely contacted them several times via several different channels just asking for clarifications and what the “missing coefficients” are in the last model. Total stonewall- they won’t even acknowledge my contacts. Some people more connected to the education community also apparently did that as a result of my post, with the same result.
