Multilevel/mixed models using Stata

Description

This course introduces multilevel/mixed modeling for nested and longitudinal data and its implementation in Stata. Mixed models contain both fixed effects, analogous to regression coefficients, and random effects, effects that vary across clusters. Participants will learn how to use mixed models to answer research questions about the observation- and cluster-level data and how to disaggregate these effects. Introductory theory, estimation, model building, and diagnostics will be discussed and demonstrated through many examples.

Are you more interested in panel-data models with unobserved individual-level heterogeneity, endogenous variables, or lagged variables? Check out our Panel-data analysis using Stata course.

The course will be interactive, use real data, and offer ample opportunity for specific research questions and for working exercises to reinforce what is learned.

Price: $1,395

We offer a 15% discount for group enrollments of three or more participants.

Course leader

Meghan Cain is the Assistant Director, Educational Services at StataCorp LLC. She earned her PhD in quantitative psychology from the University of Notre Dame, where her research focused on structural equation modeling, multilevel modeling, and Bayesian statistics. At Stata, she oversees the development of statistical trainings and webinars, creates videos for the Stata YouTube channel, and reviews Stata Press books.

The course was great—exactly what I was looking for. The instructor did an excellent job making difficult concepts easy to understand, showing us tricks in using Stata, and she also skillfully answered many difficult questions.

Notes

Enrollment is limited. This course may be offered in a classroom or web-based setting. The type (classroom or web-based) will be designated above when scheduled.

Classroom training courses are two-day courses that run from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day. These courses take place at a training center where computers with Stata installed are provided. A continental breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack will also be provided.

Web-based training courses are four-day courses that run for three and a half hours each day. You will be provided with a temporary Stata license to install on your computer, a printed copy of the course notes, and all the course datasets so that you can easily follow along. Learn more about how our web-based training courses work, watch a video demonstration, and find technical requirements for participating in this type of training.
