There are still a few places on the: > APPLIED MULTILEVEL MODELLING WORKSHOPS > > The Royal Statistical Society > 12 Errol Street, London, EC1Y 8LX > > Wednesday 5 October 2005 (09.30 - 18.00 hrs) > and > Thursday 6 October 2005 (09.30 -18.00 hrs) > > The Royal Statistical Society will be running an Applied Multilevel Modelling workshop on Wednesday 5 October 2005 and will repeat the same workshop on Thursday 6 October 2005. N.B. These are two separate, stand-alone 1-day workshops. Participants are invited to attend on either 5 or 6 October 2005. > > 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 2.1, will be used. > > Both workshops are held under the auspices of the Royal Statistical Society and will be led by Professor Harvey Goldstein and Dr. Fiona Steele, University of Bristol. > > Preliminary timetable: > 09.30 - 10.00 Registration (refreshments) > 10.00 - 10.30 Introduction to multilevel modelling > 10.30 - 11.00 Random intercept, random slope models and residual estimates > 11.00 - 11.15 Break (refreshments) > 11.15 - 12.00 Repeated measures and multivariate data models > 12.00 - 13.00 Generalised linear (discrete response) multilevel models > 13.00 - 14.00 Lunch > 14.00 - 14.30 MCMC (Markov Chain Monte Carlo) introduction > 14.30 - 15.00 MCMC estimates for multilevel models > 15.00 - 15.45 Bootstrapping for multilevel data > 15.45 - 16.15 Break (refreshments) > 16.15 - 17.00 Non hierarchical multilevel models I: Cross-classifications > 17.00 - 17.45 Non hierarchical multilevel models II: Multiple membership structures > 17.45 - 18.00 Resume and general discussion > > The workshop fee is as follows: > > > £275 for non RSS fellows (non-academic) £190 for non RSS fellows (academic) > £235 for RSS fellows (non-academic) £135 for RSS fellows (academic) > £210 for CStats (non-academic) £120 for CStats (academic) > > > The CStat rate applies to MIS, FIS and GradStat.
