Forthcoming ESDS events
Introducing multilevel models and applying them to the Health Survey for England using MLwiN
27 - 28 October 2010
Humanities Bridgeford Street, University of Manchester
This workshop is jointly organised by ESDS Government and e-Stat, a quantitative node for the ESRC NCeSS programme which brings together academics working in statistics and computer science.
Fee: £50 including lunch and refreshments
Prerequisites: a working knowledge of multiple regression and the basics of sample design.
The focus of this two-day workshop is on multilevel modelling where the multilevel structure is determined by the sample design, in particular on the way the methods can be applied to the Health Survey for England. This structure will then be used to examine the extent to which variables such as height, weight and BMI are clustered by household and area and whether any of this variability can be accounted by background variables such as social class and educational qualifications. The first day will provide a general introduction to multilevel modelling of sample survey data and will introduce the data to be used throughout the practical sessions of the workshop. The second day will be practical, applying MLwiN to a set of substantive questions using the Health Survey for England data.
