Workshop: Introduction to Multilevel Modelling Using MLwiN

Description:

The course will focus on multilevel modelling for continuous and binary responses (dependent or outcome variables) when the data are clustered or hierarchical. It will consist of a 2:1 mix of lectures and hands-on practical sessions applying the taught methods to real datasets using MLwiN. 

Topics covered:

1. Overview of multilevel modelling
2. Introduction to MLwiN
3. Variance-components models
4. Random-intercept models with covariates
5. Between- and within-effects of level-1 covariates
6. Random-coefficient models
7. Growth-curve models
8. Three-level models
9. Review of single-level logistic regression
10. Two-level logistic regression

Pre-requisites:

Participants should be familiar with estimating and interpreting linear regression models, including the writing and interpretation of model equations, hypothesis testing and model selection, and the use and interpretation of dummy variables and interaction terms. Prior knowledge of multilevel modelling or MLwiN is not required.

Closing Date: Sunday 13th November 2016. 

Fees includes event materials, lunch, and morning/afternoon refreshments. The course fee does not include travel and accommodation costs. There will be an optional course evening meal for participants and workshop instructors on the first evening at an additional cost of £30.

Cancellation/refunds:

A full refund will be given if cancellation occurs two weeks prior to the event. No refund is given after this date. By completing the application form, you are accepting these cancellation terms.
