FW: DATIC Summer workshops in HLM and Dyadic Analysis

[Mccoach, D. Betsy]

 

Are you looking to learn more quantitative research methods?

Do you need advanced data analysis techniques for your research?

 

If so, join us this summer at the University of Connecticut for DATIC (Data Analysis Training Institute of Connecticut), and learn HLM or Dyadic Analysis!

 

 

Hierarchical Linear Models

 

Two workshops on Hierarchical Linear Models will be held.
Both workshops cover the same material.

 

Dates:

 Session A:  Monday, June 8 through Friday, June 12

Session B:  Monday, June 15 to Friday, June 19

 

Instructors: D. Betsy McCoach & Ann A. O’Connell

 

Each workshop covers basics and applications of multilevel modeling with extensions to more complex designs. Participants will learn how to analyze data via a multilevel model, and be able to interpret the results from their analyses. Participants are expected to have a working knowledge of multiple regression as well as SPSS. Analyses will be demonstrated using the software HLMv6. Alternative software packages, including SPSS, will be discussed, and examples provided. Instruction will consist of lecture, computer workshops, and individualized consultations. The emphasis will be practical with minimal emphasis on statistical theory, but those seeking more statistical information can arrange an individualized session during instructor office hours.

Dyadic Analysis

 

Dates: June 22-26, 2009

 

Instructors: David A. Kenny & Tessa V. West

 

The workshop on dyadic data analysis will focus on data where both members of a dyad are measured on the same set of variables. Among the topics to be covered are the measurement of nonindependence, the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model, the analysis of distinguishable and indistinguishable dyads, mediation and moderation of dyadic effect, and over-time analyses of dyadic data. The software package used in the workshop will be SPSS, but there will be discussion of other packages (e.g., HLM).
