Multilevel Modeling is a five-day workshop focused on the application and interpretation of multilevel models, also known as hierarchical linear models and mixed models, for the analysis of nested data structures. Nesting can arise from hierarchical data structures (e.g., siblings nested within family; patients nested within therapist), longitudinal data structures (repeated measures nested within individual), or both (repeated measures nested within patient and patient nested within therapist). It is well known that the analysis of nested data structures using traditional general linear models (e.g., ANOVA or regression) is flawed, oftentimes substantially so. Indeed, tests of significance are likely biased and many important within-group and between-group relations cannot be evaluated. Not only can these limitations be addressed within the multilevel model, but this general framework provides methods for testing hypotheses in ways not previously possible. In this workshop we provide a comprehensive exploration of multilevel models with topics ranging from introductory to advanced.

In an effort to continually improve our instruction we obtain student evaluations with each course offering. Here is a sample of reviews from prior Multilevel Modeling workshops:
Thank you for such an amazing workshop! I learned so much and cannot wait to dig into my dissertation data!
The concepts and practical applications are hard for me, but in this class I really felt like I’ve had some Eureka moments. It really came together for me. I think that speaks to both of your teaching abilities, the format of the class, and the organization of the materials. I love the dynamic between you two and your teaching styles complement each other well. I had a blast, a really good time, and loved it.
Everything is a strength -- balance between lecture/practical, the pace at which the material is delivered, the course material/resources, etc. Really just everything.
The workshop does a great job of explaining MLM on a conceptual level and provides useful examples to better understand the modeling. The instructors were great at teaching the material and were very open to answering questions.
This workshop strikes a perfect balance between theory and practical applications. I particularly appreciated this as my MLM grad class was several years ago, so this was a refresher and an extension now that I have the data to actually analyze.
