300291 MC: Soziologische Methoden - quantitativ: Longitudinal and Hierarichal Data Analysis (S) (WiSe 2020/2021)

This method class is designed to support quantitatively oriented dissertation projects by discussing advanced methods of the social sciences. The class is open for suggestions and may cover topics such as sampling, questionnaire designs, missing data and selection bias (last semester), causal inference in observational data (last semester), measurement models, experimental designs, longitudinal models (this semester), hierarchical models (this semester), etc.
Dependent upon the interests in participants, we may change the focus of the planned course in the winter term. If you have other preferences, please let me know by mailing me in advance.

The course is primarily designed for students of the BGHS, but is in principle open for advanced MA students.

We will meet on a weekly basis in zoom meetings. Slides, textbooks, and example data will be available in the LernraumPlus of the course.
