Issues of individual\nversus shared patterns of “growt h” will be discussed\, along with\nstrategies to model timing. Contextual or “multilevel” models will\nalso be discussed in terms of capturing indiv idual experiences over\ntime and in place. All models will be discussed in terms of theory\,\nmodel fit tests and appropriateness for research quest ions in the\nsocial sciences. All examples and exercises will use the Duke \nEstablished Populations for Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly\n(EPESE ) data set and Mplus software. The workshop is limited to 15\nparticipants who will be selected on the basis of the course’s\nrelevance to their res earch or teaching. You can register on-line\nat the following address: htt p://www.ciqss.umontreal.ca. The\napplication deadline for the workshop is June 6\, 2008. The selected\nparticipants will receive a confirmation by e -mail on June 9\, 2008.\nPlease find the Course Syllabus at this address: \nhttp://www.ciqss.umontreal.ca/en/whatsNew.html. Registration fees\nare $ 40 for students and postdoctoral fellows\, $80 for professors\nand researc hers affiliated with QICSS\, $150 for other university\nprofessors and res earchers and $250 for individuals from any other\ncategory. Registration f ees must be paid by money order or cheque\nmade out to: QICSS – Université de Montréal\, by credit or debit\ncard at our office in Montreal (3535 Qu een-Mary Road\, Suite\n420).\n DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20080625 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20080627 LOCATION:CA\, CIQSS 3535 Queen Mary Road\, Montreal\, CIQSS 3535 Queen Mary Road\, Montreal SUMMARY:Hands-On Workshop: Advanced Longitudinal Modeling With Latent Varia bles URL:/channels/event/hands-workshop-advanced-longitudin al-modeling-latent-variables-100498 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
