Hello Allstat
We at the Centre for Multilevel Modelling are pleased to announce that we
are now accepting bookings for our Introduction to Multilevel Modelling
workshops to take place early 2008. We would advise early booking as these
courses quickly become fully-subscribed. Also, see item 4 for details of
new FAQs
1) 'Introduction to Multilevel Modelling': Tues 15 - Thur 17 January 2008
Designed to give participants a solid grounding in multilevel modelling. The
workshop will be based around theoretical sessions followed by "hands on"
practical sessions illustrating the theoretical concepts. The hands on
sessions will be using the MLwiN software package. Prices:
academic (staff): £145
students: £85
non-academic: £550

2) 'Introduction to Multilevel Models: Getting Started with your own data':
31 March - 4 April 2008
An introduction to multilevel models combining theory and hands on practical
sessions with provided data sets. 7 hours of sessions are allocated for
participants to put into practice the concepts and techniques they are
learning on their own data set. Prices:
academic: £600
non-academic: £1000

3) We are now running the web site for the 'Avon Local Group of the Royal
Statistical Society', an an opportunity for statisticians in Bath and
Bristol to meet and discuss statistical methods and their applications in
areas of local interest, including healthcare, education, and the
environment. Please contact Nicky Welton ([log in to unmask]) to
reserve a place.

4) We are building on our MLwiN FAQs in response to the types of questions
we receive from our software customers. FAQ page:

Recent additions to to our range of FAQs include:
i) Getting data out of MLwiN:
<http://www.cmm.bristol.ac.uk/MLwiN/tech-support/support-faqs/data-in/data-out.shtml>
ii) following on from our popular 'Getting data into MLwiN' page:
<http://www.cmm.bristol.ac.uk/MLwiN/tech-support/support-faqs/data-in/index.shtml>
iii) Multinomial response models using proportion data, which demonstrates
how to aggregate a categorical response at level 1 to level 2 proportion
data, then how to estimate a multinomial response model on this multinomial
proportion data.
