Introduction to Structural Equation Modelling using Mplus - 5-6th December at The University of Glasgow
Limited spaces are available for this 2 day course - led by Nick Shryane (https://www.research.manchester.ac.uk/portal/N.Shryane.html) - which introduces the family of statistical methods know as structural equation modelling (SEM). The course also introduces Mplus, a powerful statistical modelling and simulation software package for carrying out SEM.
SEM allows researchers to evaluate the quantitative consequences of their theoretical models. It is therefore most useful for testing hypotheses rather than data exploration. SEM is appropriate for modelling all kinds of multivariate data from many different research designs. The examples used in the course will be drawn mainly from the social, psychological and clinical realms, using publically available population survey data.
The course is aimed at people with experience of the empirical research process and statistical modelling such as regression analysis, who want to an introduction to the much broader and more flexible suite of analytical tools offered by SEM.

Please note - applications for this course close at midday on Friday 25th November.
