RSS02.D7 Multilevel regression analysis with R - Confirmed
Confirmed
The course introduces multilevel regression analysis for researchers featuring models for hierarchical or nested social science data. Models and examples are discussed in as non-technical a way as possible; the emphasis is on understanding the methodological and statistical issues involved in application of the models. Following the day 1 introductory meeting, course days 2 and 3 are devoted to the analysis of (two-level) cross-sectional data, day 4 to the analysis of panel data, with repeated measures nested in individuals, and day 5 to multilevel logistic regression.
Every course day starts with a lecture followed by a computer exercise in which participants complete an exercise. During the computer exercises various aspects of multilevel modeling will be trained using the R software. In completing the assignments participants will work with cross-national survey and longitudinal datasets.
The day-to-day content includes:
- Day 1, discussion of the unique features of multilevel data and their consequences for statistical analysis, including number of effective observations, intra-class correlation, null and random intercept model, and the R software itself.
- Topics covered on day 2 are fixed effects, random slopes and significance testing, and we discuss level-1 (X) and level-2 (Z) predictors variables, types of regression effects (fixed, random), and null hypothesis tests (Wald test, likelihood ratio test, Satterthwaite df).
- On day 3 the issues covered include cross-level interaction and proportion explained variance. Here we will discuss interaction of X and Z variables, R2 measures, and within and between regression.
- On day 4 the attention shifts to longitudinal data. The topics discussed are wide vs long data files, fixed and random parts of multilevel longitudinal models, time-constant and time-varying predictor variables, within and between effects of time-varying variables, and fixed effects models.
- On day 5 the multilevel mixed effects model is briefly juxtaposed with Generalized Least Squares followed by a discussion of multilevel logistic regression.
