Multilevel Models for Longitudinal Data, Josh Goode. Friday, February 12, 2:00-3:30pm. In this workshop, we will be providing an introductory overview of longitudinal modeling with multilevel models. In addition to a discussion of the models themselves, we will be discussing the structure of longitudinal data and the different ways in which we can address time in the models. We will work through a simple example in Stata using the mixed command. Register online.

Interpreting Interactions in Stata, Josh Goode. Friday, April 16, 2:00-3:30pm. Interactions happen often in daily life, yet we often ignore or misinterpret them in our statistical models. For example, if you are studying age, income and gender in some population, have you considered that the age vs. income curve is often different for women and men. Statistically, we would say that age, income and gender interact. If you only include age, income and gender in the model, omitting the interaction, you may reduce the p-values for your model. Come to this class to learn how to use and interpret interactions in Stata. Register online.
