FEW PLACES REMAINING!
 
COURSE ORGANIZERS
George Ploubidis and Bianca De Stavola
Guest lecturer: Tim Croudace (University of Cambridge)

THE COURSE

Most courses on factor analysis and structural equation modelling
concentrate on the use of traditional factor analytic models with
interval level data and neglect the latest developments within the
Generalised Latent Variable Modelling framework. The course will
discuss
the current state of the art with respect to factor analysis and
structural equation modelling, while retaining a practical focus.
Participants will acquire awareness of the new available methods and
gain competence in applying and combining these in simple settings.

Aims:
Understand measurement principles such as reliability and
precision  
Perform Exploratory Factor Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis
with a mixture of binary/ordinal/interval data. 
Estimate and interpret path analytic and structural models  
Estimate and interpret growth curve and latent class models
Develop awareness of the common threads across these methods
Gain practical experience in using these methods using Stata and Mplus

COURSE FEE: £ 700
