Hierarchical Linear Models


QAC 312
Spring 2018 not offered
Certificates: Applied Data Science
Course Cluster: Data Analysis Minor

Research questions cannot always be explored by collecting data with independent observations. Sometimes this is due to limitations or constraints on the data collection method, and other times our questions pertain to data that are measured at both the individual and group levels (e.g., patients from different hospitals or students from different schools that belong to different districts). Hierarchical linear models (HLM), also called multi-level or mixed models, explicitly model such nested data structures and address analytical and estimation issues not accounted within the framework of the classical linear model. Using data sets from different fields of study (e.g., education, medicine, and health) students will learn to formulate multilevel research questions, estimate and critically examine HLM applications.
