There are still a few places on the:
> 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. 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, University of Bristol.
>
