Course Overview:

In this two day course, we provide a comprehensive practical and
theoretical introduction to multilevel models, also known as
hierarchical or mixed effects models. We will focus primarily on
multilevel linear models, but also cover multilevel generalized linear
models. Likewise, we will also describe Bayesian approaches to
multilevel modelling. On Day 1, we will begin by focusing on random
effects multilevel models. These models make it clear how multilevel
models are in fact models of models. In addition, random effects
models serve as a solid basis for understanding mixed effects, i.e.
fixed and random effects, models. In this coverage of random effects,
we will also cover the important concepts of statistical shrinkage in
the estimation of effects, as well as intraclass correlation. We then
proceed to cover linear mixed effects models, particularly focusing on
varying intercept and/or varying slopes regresssion models. On Day 2,
we cover further aspects of linear mixed effects models, including
multilevel models for nested and crossed data data, and group level
predictor variables. On Day 2, we also cover Bayesian approaches to
multilevel levels using the brms R package.
