Are there any specific models you use and would recommend?

If you have knowledge and experience with this test, I would greatly appreciate a moment of your time to contribute with an entry to the survey's spreadsheet, linked below. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cwsLjv3I9CrhU286KBk6floYbds5JHkYxqOJB_ENvjE/edit?gid=0 <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cwsLjv3I9CrhU286KBk6floYbds5JHkYxqOJB_ENvjE/edit?gid=0> Thank you in advance for your help!
