Confirmatory and
Exploratory Multivariate Modelling
37th. Spring Seminar at the
Zentralarchiv, February 25 - March 14, 2008
The Spring Seminar is a training course for social
scientists interested in advanced techniques of data analysis and in the
application of these techniques to data. Participants must have a sound
basic knowledge of statistics as well as experience in the handling of PCs
and of working with statistical packages, i.e. SPSS, Stata etc.
The Spring
Seminar comprises lectures, exercises and practical work using personal
computers. While in the lectures the logic of models and the corresponding
analysis strategies will be explained, during the exercises and in the
practical work the participants are given the opportunity to apply these
methods to data. As in the past Spring Seminars, the focus will be on
teaching multivariate analysis techniques. In 2008 the general topic will be
Confirmatory and Exploratory Multivariate Modelling. In addition to the
lectures, the participants will be provided with information about functions
and services of the Zentralarchiv which is the German data archive for
survey data.
The seminar covers three modules of one week each, to
some extent based upon one another. The courses can be booked either
separately or as a block.
In due course, the detailed programme will be published at this webpage.
