[Methods-l] KU Summer Stats Camp Enrollment reminder

[Paul Johnson]

Apologies for Cross Postings

Please feel free to forward this note and the attached flyer to anyone 
who might be interested.

The Center for Research Methods and Data Analysis at the University of 
Kansas will host the Summer Statistical Institute (Stats Camp) from May 
22 through June 9, 2017. Please visit the Web homepage for this event at 
http://crmda.ku.edu/statscamp. Space is available in all sessions.

These sessions are a combination of lecture format presentations and 
workshops for "hands on" practice.  We recommend everybody should bring 
a laptop computer on which they have administrative privileges so that 
new software can be installed.  There will be plenty of workshop 
"helpers" to troubleshoot problems during the workshop sessions. We have 
experience with Linux, MS Windows, and Macintosh computers.

Week 1: May 22-26. Using R (internally referred to as the "summeR 
workshop").  Covers the basics of interacting with R, importing data, 
creating graphics, and conducting statistical analysis.  This will 
introduce tools for project management that are offered in our R 
package, "kutils". Paul Johnson, CRMDA Director, is the leader on R.

Week 2: May 30-June 2. Using Stata. As in the R workshop, covers basics 
of interacting with Stata, including data import, recoding, graphics and 
analysis. A major point of emphasis is development of project management 
skills.  Jacob Fowles, of the School of Public Affairs, is the leader on 
Stata.

Week 3: June 5-9. Structural Equation Modeling. The SEM overview will be 
offered by Professor Edward Merkle of the University of Missouri. The 
"SEM example" archive created by CRMDA will be introduced.  KU 
Psychology Professor Holger Brandt will offer three sessions about 
nonlinear latent models for structural equations. The structural 
equations material, for the most part, uses R (and some Mplus) and it 
builds on the R modeling concepts discussed during the first week of the 
workshop.

I hope you will let your faculty and students know about this 
opportunity, which I believe is very reasonably priced.  Please see the
updated website for all the details http://crmda.ku.edu/statscamp.
Enrollment is still $50/day for KU affiliates and $70/day for students 
and faculty at other universities.
