> The Royal Statistical Society will be running an Applied Multilevel Modelling workshop on Thursday 18 May 2006. 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 2.02, will be used.
