> There still are a few remaining places on the two workshops below: > > APPLIED MULTILEVEL MODELLING WORKSHOPS > > The Royal Statistical Society > 12 Errol Street, London, EC1Y 8LX > > Thursday 18 May 2006 (09.30 - 18.00 hrs) > and > Friday 19 May 2006 2005 (09.30 - 18.00 hrs) > > The Royal Statistical Society will be running an Applied Multilevel Modelling workshop on Thursday 18 May 2006 and will repeat the same workshop on Friday 19 May 2006. N.B. These are two separate, stand-alone 1-day workshops. Participants are invited to attend on either 18 or 19 May 2006. > > 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 2.02, 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: > > > £320 for non RSS fellows (non-academic) £250 for non RSS fellows (academic) > £245 for RSS fellows (non-academic) £145 for RSS fellows (academic) > £220 for CStats (non-academic) £130 for CStats (academic) > > > The CStat rate applies to MIS, FIS and GradStat.
