Random effects modelling – advanced issues (Online)Info Location Additional Items Contact More Info Course InformationRandom effects models are applied in a range of social science domains (e.g. education, health and economics). Across disciplines, however, they are often used for different purposes, with different specifications, or even with different terminologies. These differences may well reflect genuine complexities and ambiguities that are associated with their implementation. This two-day course will focus on selected advanced issues in the application of random effects models in social research contexts. It is most suited to empirical social science researchers with some previous experience in using statistical models with random effects. The participants will be invited to use their own computers in the virtual lab exercises. Participants should have at least one of the software packages Stata, SPSS and R installed on their computers in order to participate in the virtual labs. Example materials will be available in all three packages, although the largest volume of examples are available in Stata format. Required: Some previous knowledge and experience of using statistical models in the social sciences Software requirements for participation in the virtual lab sessions: Required: Access to at least one software from Stata, SPSS or R. Use of a secure computer that will support downloading and storing data files. Previous experience of using ‘command syntax’ code in statistical software to analyse datasets. Course will be delivered online and course times are 10:00 – 16:00 each day Course CodeNCRMEDREMAI Course LeaderProfessor Paul Lambert, The University of Stirling
