CSSI Workshop: Introduction to Multilevel Modeling
Friday, November 15, 2024 1:00pm to 3:00pm
This workshop will discuss the basics of multilevel modeling. Participants will learn how nesting or clustering in data creates dependency not accounted for in general linear models. Multilevel models allow for additional research questions and account for the dependency due to nesting. This workshop will focus on the conceptual background of multilevel models, but resources will also be provided and discussed on the implementation of these models.
