Introductory and advanced courses are offered by the OSU College of Health and Human Sciences Methodology Core over a period of four days (one day – introductory course; three days – advanced course) during the summer months. The 2009 introductory course provides instruction in the use of Mplus. Participants are expected to be comfortable with the General Linear Model. The advanced course focuses on the analysis of change using Mplus and will assume prior experience with Mplus, which may be obtained in the introductory course. These two courses can be taken independently or combined. The courses are team taught and draw on the faculty expertise in the College of Health and Human Sciences at Oregon State University. Applied examples are used throughout the workshops, with hands-on analysis experience.
July 7: Introduction to Mplus (Alan Acock). Participants will learn how to use the Mplus software.
July 8-10: Latent Growth Curve Modeling using Mplus (Alan Acock, Lesa Hoffman, Fuzhong Li). This workshop will introduce latent growth curve and longitudinal multilevel modeling using the Mplus software, and will extend to time-varying predictors, binary and count outcomes, and growth mixtures (i.e., group differences in trajectories).
