This course will introduce random effects (multilevel) models for the analysis of repeated measures data. Topics will include:
• Growth curve models, as multilevel models and structural equation models
• Random effects and marginal models for binary data; subject-specific and population-averaged effects
• Introduction to dynamic (autoregressive response) models
The emphasis will be on the practical application of methods for longitudinal data analysis and interpreting the results. Lectures will be combined with hands-on practical exercises in Stata, using a range of social science datasets.
This course is supported by the LEMMA project, a node of the ESRC National Centre for Research Methods.
Prerequisites:
Familiarity with multilevel modelling and logistic regression analysis to the level of knowledge obtained by completing Modules 5 and 6 of the Centre for Multilevel Modelling’s online course.
