Multilevel modeling is becoming widely used to study variation and change in student achievement. You will conduct hypothesis tests and obtain confidence intervals for functions of coefficients. The uses of residuals will be covered. The study of growth and change is another domain in which the multilevel approach offers several advantages over traditional methods. You will work with some repeated measures data fitting polynomial growth curves and other models.
Data often have discrete responses, for example, proportions or counts.
The workshop will deal with the multilevel extensions to traditional logit and loglinear models. The fee covers the costs of the workshop, full documentation, and a copy of the student version of the program, and also includes dinner, lunch, and coffee and tea. Accommodation You will need to arrange your own funding for travel and accommodation. You will be sent a list of local hotels in different price categories. It is suggested that you obtain copies of the following, and read them in advance.
