Psy 526 Multilevel Regression

Multilevel regression models can be used to analyze hierarchically structured data, such as educational studies, and longitudinal data. Material is presented with an applied researcher's perspective in mind, covering fundamental concepts, basic mathematical and statistical underpinnings, and illustrations using computer software. Topics include: random coefficients, interclass correlation coefficient, explained variance, cross-level interactions, centering, model assumptions and diagnostics, binary and ordinal outcomes, and growth curve models. This course assumes prior knowledge about multiple regression analysis.
