HLP Lab Mini Course on Regression Methods

November 24 & 25, Copenhagen, Denmark

Goal of this workshop

To provide sufficient background and a platform for a discussion of common issues in linear and logistic regression fitting, including applications of multilevel models.

Some of the specific questions that you have sent me:

  • Data distributions and transformations to increase normality
  • How robust are LME's in the face of normality violations (short answer: relatively robust; there are worse violations)
  • Evaluation of multiple logistic regression model
    • also: "Precision measures" -- I assume this refers to tests of the quality of fit of a model?
    • decision criteria to include or exclude variables. Why researchers sometimes keep insignificant predictors in the model?
  • When to use mixed-effects models
  • Conceptual background

The week before the tutorial

November 17

Prepare

Session 1

November 24

Linear and logistic regression

Session 2

Readings

In the sessions, I refer to the following readings:

Obligatory:

Recommended:

Also useful:

R packages

Please make sure you have the following R packages installed before you attend the workshop. Please also note that I will assume R version 2.7.1, and it's easier if you have that same version (or at least that recent a version).

  • Design. Linear and generalized linear regression.

  • lme4. Multilevel modeling.

  • ARM. Companion package for Gelman & Hill (2007).

  • languageR. Companion package for Baayen (2008).
