Multilevel and Longitudinal Modelling
===============================================
10 June 2010, 10am-17:30pm
Institute of Education (near the British Museum)
20 Bedford Way (Main Building), WLE Center, Level 4
The course introduces models for clustered data, such as students
nested in schools, or repeated measures/panel waves nested in
subjects. We start with linear random-intercept models for
continuous responses before introducing random coefficients and
higher levels of nesting. Logistic random effects models for
dichotomous responses will be considered next. We will also briefly
discuss alternative approaches such as fixed-effects models and
generalized estimating equations. Examples will come from a variety
of disciplines including social science and medicine. This course
emphasizes understanding of multilevel and related models and
interpretation of parameter estimates, but does not teach any
particular software. Course participants should be familiar with
linear and logistic regression.
The course is based on the book "Multilevel and Longitudinal
Modeling Using Stata" (http://www.stata.com/bookstore/mlmus2.html)
but Stata syntax will not be discussed.
The course is organised by the ADMIN node (Institute of Education)
of the ESRC National Centre for Research Methods.
Course fees, including lunch and coffee/tea:
====================================================
£200 - For participants from academia
£300 - For all other participants
