The last day of the summer school was devoted to multivariate latent curve models.
Education
On Thursday, Prof. Kenneth Bollen addressed more complicated latent curve models. The lecturer talked about the between-group comparison of trajectories.
On Wednesday, the participants learned how to estimate nonlinear latent curve models and found out more about conditional latent curve models.
On Tuesday, Prof. Kenneth Bollen discussed unconditional latent curve models on the 6th LCSR International Summer School.
The second week of the 6th LCSR Summer School has begun in Moscow. The main course “Latent curve models: a structural equation perspective” will be given by professor Kenneth Bollen (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA).
The first week of the 6th LCSR International Summer School came to an end.
On the fourth day of the summer school, the lecturer introduced structural equation modeling as a method.
BIGSSS–departs (doctoral education in partnerships) is a full-time international Ph.D. program co-funded by the European Union. It provides close supervision of dissertation work in a demand-tailored education and research environment at the University of Bremen and Bremen’s Jacobs University. Program fellows commit themselves to a 42-month structured curriculum, including a six-month stay abroad at one of the networks’ renowned partner institutions: besides National Research University Higher School of Economics, this group comprises the University of Edinburgh, Duke University, Manipal University, Sciences Po/Paris, Universitá degli studi di Milano, IIR Kiev, UNC at Chapel Hill, Bertelsmann Foundation and Edna Pasher PhD & Associates/Tel Aviv.
On the third day, the school participants learned multiple group confirmatory factor analysis (CFA).
During the second day of the LCSR Summer School, the participants continued learning the basics of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The lecture focused on the issue of model identification.
