Junior researcher of the Laboratory Tatyana Khavenson visited Oxford Spring School on 16-19 April, 2012
In the middle of April, 2012 there was conducted another Oxford Spring School. Such schools are organized annualy. And this year it was the 10th school. Topics of the schools are almost always new, this year a course was devoted to the Multilevel Analysis.
Course instructors were Tom Snijders and Daniel Stegmueller. They both apply multilevel regressions actively in practice. During the course they described methodology in general and discussed possible problems, which can occur in practice.
A course lasted 4 days and was built on the basis of textbook of Snijders, T.A.B., andBosker, R.J. (2012). Multilevel analysis: An introduction to basic and advanced multilevel modeling, 2nd edition. London: Sage Publications.
There were 20 participants from all Europe at school. What is interesting, there were representatives of all social sciences and even physicians, that evidently shows the integration of all social sciences in Europe.
Oxford motivates very much to work and study, and a rainy weather does not allow to spend all the time walking in the city and parks.
