Full Description:: Purpose
This five-day intensive course has been specifically designed to deepen the specialist knowledge of your research teams and enhance the quality and meaning of the data you use when making crucial business decisions. It incorporates several modules from across MFSAS streams, and delves more deeply into topics that are pivotal for organisations that use longitudinal data for research and decision-making.

Learning objectives
On completing this module, participants will have an understanding of:
1. Understand the advantages of using longitudinal data for research and decision-making.
2. Manage longitudinal datasets and prepare these for statistical analysis.
3. Understand the different approaches that can be used to model multivariate relationships with
longitudinal data (e.g. fixed and random effects regression models).
4. Recognise hierarchical data and the relevance of multilevel models.
5. Understand how multilevel models can be used to analyse variation and trends in growth over
time with longitudinal data.
6. Understand how to model duration until an event occurs using event history analysis.
7. Determine which modelling approach is most appropriate for different types of research
questions.
8. Effectively present the results of longitudinal data analyses to non-technical audiences.
