This course will build on students' previous foundations in probability, statistical inference, and linear regression. An introduction to generalized linear models (GLMs) and multilevel (mixed effects/hierarchical) models will be followed by additional advanced topics at the discretion of the instructor. These will include special cases of GLMs and multilevel models and may also consider measurement of latent variables (e.g. factor analysis, IRT).
