S Multilevel Regression (AMS, Teil I/II)
Social scientists are often confronted with hierarchical structured data: Textbook examples include students grouped into classes (belonging to schools belonging to geographical region) as well as individuals living in neighbourhoods (grouped into cities grouped into regions) or, in a comparative research perspective, individuals grouped into countries. Theoretical models in these settings often assume cross-level interactions between the individual level and higher levels. A common assumption would be that the social composition of a school has an effect on the individual student performance or that the neighborhood context influences the individual probability of delinquent behavior.
Statistical models referred to as multilevel (linear) models, mixed-effects models, covariance component models or random-effects models have been proposed in the literature for this kind of data and are often rated superior to simple OLS regression. The course will cover an introduction into the practical application and interpretation of multilevel models. In addition to computer exercises, examples of applications of multilevel models in different research fields will be discussed. Please note that the course will be held in English.
