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.
