2020 Summer Workshops

CenterStat October 2, 2019

We’re pleased to announce our summer workshop schedule for 2020. The schedule for our regular 5-Day workshops is:

May 11-15: Network Analysis
May 11-15: Structural Equation Modeling
May 18-22: Longitudinal Structural Equation Modeling
June 1-5: Latent Class/Cluster Analysis and Mixture Modeling
June 8-12: Multilevel Modeling now with an R software option in addition to SAS, SPSS, and Stata

In addition, we are pleased to again offer a steeply reduced cost ($100) 3-day introductory workshop designed specifically for graduate students seeking advanced methodological training:

May 27-29: Introduction to Structural Equation Modeling for Graduate Students

Given high demand, students are asked to pre-register for this event by March 20, 2020, and will be notified if they have been selected to attend by April 1, 2020.

See our Training page for a general description of our teaching philosophy, links to course reviews and sample course notes.

What’s the best way to determine the number of latent classes in a finite mixture analysis?

Selecting the number of classes (or components) is one of the most challenging decisions to make when fitting a finite mixture model (including latent class analysis and latent profile analysis). In this post, we talk through the conventional wisdom on class enumeration, as well as when this breaks down.

What exactly qualifies as intensive longitudinal data and why am I not able to use more traditional growth models to study stability and change over time?

This post considers the unique features of intensive longitudinal data (ILD) relative to other more traditional data structures and how we can appropriately analyze ILD given these features

I fit a multilevel model and got the warning message “G Matrix is Non-Positive Definite.” What does this mean and what should I do about it?

I’m reporting within- and between-group effects in from a multilevel model, and my reviewer says I need to address “sampling error” in the group means. What does this mean, and what can I do to address this?

Why between-group effects estimating in MLMs are sometimes biased, and what to do about it

My advisor told me to use principal components analysis to examine the structure of my items and compute scale scores, but I was taught not to use it because it is not a “true” factor analysis. Help!

We explain the difference between principal components analysis and exploratory factor analysis
