KU Summer Institutes announcement

Each summer KU Summer Institutes offer a series of advanced intensive short courses in areas of applied statistics useful in the social sciences. These courses are designed for individuals who have some training in statistical methods, but who wish to “diversify their statistical portfolios” by gaining a theoretical and practical understanding of an advanced technique.

This year the KU Summer Institutes are offering two 5-day courses in structural equation modeling. More details can be obtained at the links below:

I. Structural Equation Modeling: Foundations and Extended Applications
Five-day Course * June 4-8, 2007 * Lawrence, Kansas
