Andrew Hayes visiting University of Hohenheim
Andrew, thanks for visiting University of Hohenheim last week. We really enjoyed your lecture and workshop on moderation and mediation!
Frankfurt, Germany: Einführung in die Analyse linearer Strukturgleichungsmodelle mit Mplus
On May 18-19th 2011, back in his home country for a two-day workshop, Christian Geiser will teach how to use Mplus in Frankfurt, Germany. Course language will be German.
Sheffield, UK: SEM using MPlus
This course is particularly aimed at researchers, practitioners and postgraduate students from the fields of psychology, management/business, sociology, and the social sciences more generally.
Date: Friday 1st July, 2011
There are a maximum of 16 places available on the course, so prompt booking is advised.
The standard rate for the full day courses is £250, the student rate is £175; and if you attend two or more of the courses you get a further 50 pound discount on the total cost. Details of the course are given below: for further information and to book a place, go to http://www.offbeat.group.shef.ac.uk/FIO/trainingcourses.htm
Arizona, USA: Introduction to Latent Class Analysis with Mplus
Usually, we only refer to workshops inside Europe. However, today we like to inform about a workshop taking place at Arizona State University. This workshop is organzied by our dear colleague Christian Geiser.
Date: April 22-23, 2011
Location: Arizona State University (http://www.asu.edu/uts/m_scob.htm)
Course outline: Detailed information
It seems to me that latent class analysis (LCA) more and more displaces the use of cluster analysis. Anyone who suffers from interpreting some kind of elbow diagram may join Christian’s workshop. Put differently, I think that LCA has a lot more to offer in terms of goodness-of-fit assessment than classical cluster analysis. Anyway, I am still waiting to read a paper that explicitly addresses model similarities and differences between the LCA and the model based cluster analysis approach.
Berlin, Germany: Bayesianische Methoden mit WinBUGS
On March 24th, 2011 Berlin is a very good place to be! Why that? As part of the FZD Frühjahrsakademie 2011 there will be a one-day workshop on how to compute basic statistical procedures like t-test, regression analysis as well as simple multi-level modelling using WinBUGS.
We highly recommend attending this workshop because introductory lectures on using WinBUGS are extremely rare at the moment. Further, we are quite sure that attending this course is a very starting point for people interested in computing Bayesian SEM (see “Structural Equation Modeling: A Bayesian Approach” by Sik-Yum Lee).
Date: March 24th, 2011
Location: Humboldt University, Berlin
Presenter: Alexander Robitzsch (bifie Salzburg)
Language: German
Detailed Course Outline (German)
P.S.
Those who do not speak German may attend Richard Morey’s workshop “Bayesian Analysis for the Social Sciences” at Essex Summer School 2011.
