Multilevel Modelling
***********************************
Dates: 7-8 April 2008. Duration: 2 days. Price: 625 GBP.
Hierarchical data structures are common in many areas of application,
including the social sciences, education, market research, biology,
psychology, agriculture and industry. Such data structures may arise from
surveys, designed experiments or observational studies. In the past,
because suitable modelling approaches were not available, the analysis of
hierarchical data was rather ad hoc and, in some well-known cases, ignoring
the multilevel nature of the data has even led to incorrect conclusions.
Although the theory of multilevel modelling will be well explained, the
emphasis in this course is on its practical implementation and
interpretation of results. The course will focus on models with normally
distributed errors.
The MLwiN package will be used in the presentations as well as other
software as appropriate. In the practicals, in addition to MLwiN,
participants will be able to choose from the statistics packages R, SAS,
SPSS and Stata.
