Methods@Manchester is offering a 4.5 day course on Longitudinal Data Analysis as part of the Methods Summer School.
FEATURED COURSE! We have some bookings and UK Student bursaries still remaining
For details and bookings, go to: https://www.methods.manchester.ac.uk/connect/events/summer-school/
In this course you will learn the most important skills needed in order to prepare and analyse longitudinal data. We will cover statistical methods used in multiple research fields such as: economics, sociology, psychology, developmental studies, marketing and biology. At the end of the course you will be able to answer a number of different types of questions using longitudinal data: questions about causality and causal order, about changes in time and what explains it, as well as about the occurrence of events and their timing.
Longitudinal data (data collected multiple times from the same cases) is becoming increasingly popular due to the important insights it can bring us. For example, it can be used to track how individuals change in time and what are the causes of change, it can also be used to understand causal relationships or used as part of impact evaluation. Unfortunately, traditional models such as ordinary least squares regression are not appropriate as multiple individuals are nested in different time points. For this reason specialised statistical models need to be learned.
Throughout the week we will be using a combination of lecturing and applied sessions. For the applied sessions we will be using the statistical package R. R is becoming one of the leading statistical software due to its free and open source nature. In this course you will learn how to effectively use it to answer longitudinal questions. We will cover both data management and cleaning as well as different statistical methodologies such as: regression analysis, multilevel analysis, structural equation modelling and survival analysis.
The Course is run by Dr Alex Cernat: https://www.research.manchester.ac.uk/portal/alexandru.cernat.html
We are also offering a range of other courses - bookings close June 18!
