University of Essex, Department of Sociology Short Course Series
==============================================================================
Multilevel modelling - theory and application (2 Days - 31st March & 1st April
==============================================================================
This two-day course provides a detailed introduction to the use of multilevel models for exploring clustered data. This will begin with a discussion of the basic theory of multilevel modelling, and the different types of data structure that it can be used to handle. Then we will introduce the linear random intercept and random slope models, demonstrating the types of information that these can offer researchers. Finally, two common extensions to the standard multilevel model will be outlined: models to deal with longitudinal data, and binary response models. The course will include hands on practice with MLwiN, a powerful multilevel modelling software package.
At the end of this course, you should be able to understand the ideas behind multilevel modelling and when their use is appropriate; to fit multilevel models to continuous and binary response data using the MLwiN software; and to interpret results critically.
Course Instructor: Dr Ian Brunton-Smith is senior lecturer in quantitative criminology at the University of Surrey. His research interests include survey methodology; criminal statistics; multilevel modelling; and missing data problems. He has conducted a range of analyses using multilevel modelling, and regularly teaches short courses that explore the use of multilevel models.
