Templin

A three-day workshop presenting an introduction to multilevel statistical models featuring their use in longitudinal analyses will be hosted by the University of Georgia College of Education June 12-14 at the Georgia Center for Continuing Education.

Multilevel models are widely used statistical methods with names such as hierarchical linear models and random or mixed effects models. By attending the Longitudinal Data Analysis Workshop, participants will gain a basic understanding of the modeling approach and will be able to conduct basic longitudinal analyses.

Topics include analyses for basic repeated measures data, analysis of growth curves, within-person fluctuation, and simultaneous prediction of multiple sources of variation. The course will feature example handouts and syntax from SAS, software for business analytics.

The instructor of the workshop will be Jonathan Templin, a faculty member in the UGA College of Education’s department of educational psychology. Templin is an associate professor in the Research, Evaluation, Measurement, and Statistics program. His quantitative program of research is focused on the expansion of diagnostic modeling in education and the social sciences. The main focus of his research is the development of statistical methods for classifying individuals with respect to psychological phenomena (mental abilities or psychological disorders).

The registration cost is $650 which includes workshop materials, parking passes, refreshment breaks and lunch each day. Registration deadline is May 29, 2013.
