Multi-level models workshops or seminars using SPSS?

[Anton-24]

Dear Listers-

Is anyone aware of any workshops or seminars on multi-level (HLM) modeling
that use SPSS as the primary software package?

Thanks,

Anton

I'm not aware of any seminars or workshops.  But if you would settle for a good introductory book that gives good examples of SPSS syntax, try "Applied Multilevel Analysis" by Jos Twisk.  I found it extremely helpful in getting to grips with some of the basics, and after studying it, I was much better able to understand some of the other better known books on multilevel models (e.g., Snijders & Bosker).

p.s. - I don't have the site handy just now, but I know that you can download the data Twisk used for his examples.

Hi Anton
I run twice-yearly courses on Multi-level modelling using SPSS, here in
Sheffield, UK; courses are also available on an in-house basis

Here is an article that discuses how to use the mixed-model procedure in
SPSS to conduct multilevel analyses on cross-sectional, as well as
longitudinal data.

Peugh, J. L. & Enders, C. K. (2005). Using the SPSS Mixed Procedure to
Fit Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Multilevel Models.  Educational and
Psychological Measurement, 65(5), 717-741.

Help

I need to do NON_LINEAR cox regression, i.e. would like to know if the hazard function for death is  quadratic as well as a linear function of the covariate (quantity of  a biomarker)

There is no obvious way to do this using menus and spss didn’t like ne inserting a quadratic term in the syntax editor
Obviously I can create variable that are x^2, x^3 etc of my predicotr covariate x – but there must be a better way, as for the usual logistic or regression function

Best

Have considered using restricted cubic splines?  Frank Harrell discusses this method in his book, Regression Modeling Strategies.

It can be easily implemented in R, which is free.
