FSS - Selected Quantitative Methods
dr. Mauricio Garnier Villarreal
Course Description
Participants will be trained in some of the most commonly used quantitative analytical methods in the social sciences. Focused in methods related to multilevel modeling, structural equation modeling, and longitudinal models. Prior to the course (in advance of and during the pre-course meeting) participants are required to indicate in which methods of analysis they are familiar with, so the instructor is able to prepare leveling materials. The data analysis methods will be taught in R, so basic knowledge is preferable, and the instructor will provide basic tutorials as well for students that require more practice.
