Abstract
Analysts have to deal with hierarchical data structures increasingly more often. In particular, one encounters them in the context of cross - country comparisons. Classic regression methods applied to such data result in biased estimates. There are several ways to deal with this problem. One popular method is the multilevel regression. This course covers the basic tenets of this method with applications to international survey research data. The course assumes the student's knowledge of linear and binary logistic regression modelling.
Learning Objectives
- The aim of the course is to show how to work with hierarchical data structures using R.
Expected Learning Outcomes
- Being able to access the results of multilevel modeling and interpret them statistically and sociologically
- To apply multilevel modeling techniques in practical research
- To model individual cases within groups choosing the best model
