APPLIED MULTILEVEL MODELLING WORKSHOPS
The Royal Statistical Society
12 Errol Street, London, EC1Y 8LX
Wednesday 5 October 2005 (09.30 - 18.00 hrs)
and
Thursday 6 October 2005 (09.30 -18.00 hrs)
The Royal Statistical Society will be running an Applied Multilevel Modelling workshop on Wednesday 5 October 2005 and will repeat the same workshop on Thursday 6 October 2005 in order to meet anticipated demand. N.B. These are two separate, stand-alone 1-day workshops. Participants are invited to attend on either 5 or 6 October 2005.
The aim of this workshop is to introduce the basic theory, general techniques and applications of multilevel models. Participants should have a sound knowledge of regression analysis and experience of using statistical modelling software. The latest release of the MLwiN software, version 2.1, will be used.
Both workshops are held under the auspices of the Royal Statistical Society and will be led by Professor Harvey Goldstein and Dr. Fiona Steele, Institute of Education.
