In this course, the methods for analyzing multilevel data will be introduced with the emphasis on practical, hands-on analysis and interpretation of hierarchical linear models. The following topics will be covered in this course: conceptual development of multilevel models, estimation, model evaluation, centering and heterogeneity treatment, power, longitudinal data, and an introduction to multilevel models with non-normal outcomes (e.g., dichotomous and ordinal data).
Students taking this course should have a strong background in multiple regression as well as ANOVA models (at a level equivalent HSIE30047), and be comfortable analyzing data in R. In this course we will learn and mainly use R for running the MLM analysis, as well as the Optimal Design software for power.
•In this course, we will mainly use R and RStudio. Please bring your own laptop and have R and RStudio installed. If you find yourself in need of a computer, please reach out to me. •In addition, please download SPSS. •Late submission of assignments or lab projects will result in score deduction.
Assessment a) Participation/Attendance (Attendance and participation for course discussion is expected.) b) Article summary and presentation (10%; 5% for summary and 5% for presentation) c) Lab projects (20%): Students will be working on guided lab projects (hands-on exercise) throughout the course. d) Assignments (10%): Students will be working on 2 problem sets (HW1-2). e) Two comprehensive projects (30%) with guided data analysis and write-up (Project 1-2). f) Final in-class presentation (30%): Use existing public-available data or your own data (if you are using the data from your advisor or others, please obtain permission to do so) to build MLM models to answer unanswered research questions and prepare a presentation to share the findings. Every student (or every team) will have 15 minutes to present the project with 5 minutes Q&A and the PowerPoint slides should be uploaded to E3.
