SUMMARY:Center for Statistical Training & Consulting Workshop: Multi-Level Modeling
DESCRIPTION:
 This workshop, presented by Dr. Tenko Raykov, 
 is a follow up of introductory workshops on multilevel 
 (hierarchical) modeling that CSTAT 
 has offered on a few occasions in the past.  
 The workshop begins with outlining a method for 
 interval estimation of the intraclass correlation 
 coefficient, a highly informative index 
 in decisions whether to proceed with two-level 
 modeling at all versus conventional single-level 
 modeling.  A method extension is then 
 described, which addresses the related issue 
 whether one could use popular and easier to 
 interpret two-level models rather than a three-level 
 modeling approach, in an empirical setting 
 with clustered data.  Multilevel methods 
 for analyzing longitudinal data are then discussed. 
  At the software level, the latent 
 variable modeling programs Mplus and LISREL are 
 utilized.  (Free of charge versions of these 
 software are available, which can be used 
 for accomplishing the goals of the workshop, 
 and can be downloaded from www.statmodel.com 
 and www.ssicentral.com, respectively.)  Throughout 
 the workshop, data examples are used to 
 illustrate the discussed methods.\n\n
