This seminar covers techniques for multi-level modeling and panel data analysis using survey data. It will also address methods for managing missing data. The statistical software utilized in the seminar is R, with R-Studio serving as the editor. To facilitate a smooth start, the seminar opens with an introduction to R specifically tailored for social sciences applications. It is designed for students who already possess foundational knowledge in basic statistics, including descriptive statistics, linear regression, ANOVA, and statistical testing.
Either 5 or 10 ECTS points can be achieved in the course. For 5 points, a small assignment on the methods learned must be completed at the end of the course. For 10 points, the written elaboration of a research project (max. 12 pages) is necessary, for which the student already brings a topic, a question and an associated data set as a prerequisite.
