Description:

This module is an extension of the three previous modules in the Basic Statistics Stream, covering the theory and practice of multivariate analysis. Participants will gain deeper knowledge of interaction effects in regression models and its interpretation as well as introduction to ordered and categorical regression models. Participants will learn why and when to use interaction between explanatory variables, to do simple marginal effects of interaction variables, to understand the principles for employing multinomial and ordered categorical models, to perform simple models or these kind, and to interpret and write about their results intelligently. Half of the module is based in the lecture theatre, and covers the theory behind interaction effects, multinomial and ordered categorical models. The other half is lab-based, in which participants will work through practical exercises using STATA statistical software.

Prerequisites: 
Participants will need a basic level of competence in Stata, as well as knowledge of simple multivariate regression techniques (OLS and logistic regression). This corresponds to a score of 8 or above in the first section of the SSRMC's Skills Audit).
