Additionally, our unique and supportive social environment facilitates the sharing of ideas, approaches, and techniques.

Topics of particular interest include:

•multivariate statistics

•regression and linear models

•hierarchical linear or multilevel models

•time series analysis

•network analysis

•introductions to R, Stata, SPSS, SAS, and LaTeX

•models for categorical dependent variables

Many of our lectures and workshops are presented in two four-week sessions held on the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The first session runs from June 23–July 18, 2014. The second session runs fromJuly 21–August 15, 2014.

From May through August, we also offer almost 40 three- to five-day workshops on both statistical and substantive topics. Many of these short workshops take place in Ann Arbor, but several are held in other locations, including Amherst, MA; Berkeley, CA; Boulder, CO; Chapel Hill, NC; Manhattan, NY; and Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
