Аннотация
Social researchers often have to address the influence of the social context on individual behavior and attitudes, which requires combining different levels of analysis. This course is devoted to multilevel regression, a method developed for analyzing such multilevel or "nested" data, where classical regression methods can lead to biased estimates. The course covers the basic principles of this method (fixed and random effects, cross-level interactions, model fit assessment, etc.), which are illustrated using examples from international comparative studies. The workload of the course includes participation in lectures and seminars, group work with open data from international surveys, independent readings, as well as an individual project in the form of an essay, which can later be developed into a research article. Successful completion of the course requires a basic understanding of the fundamentals of linear and logistic regression modeling, as well as proficiency in R.
Цель освоения дисциплины
- Develop a solid understanding of multilevel data and mixed effects.
- Сultivate hands-on skills in specifying, estimating, and selecting multilevel models using R
- Build skills in analysis, visualization, and presentation of multilevel modeling results to solve applied research questions.
Планируемые результаты обучения
