Abstract

This seminar introduces the use of Continuous Time Structural Equation Modeling (CTSEM) to study phenomena over time in the social and health sciences. Day 1 topics include the required conceptual background, mathematical foundations, as well as examples to illustrate the concepts. On Day 2, the R package [b]ctsem [/b]is introduced, with hands-on coverage of topics including data preparation, model setup, parameter estimation, and interpretation of results. Day 3 topics include random intercept modelling (aka., within-person analysis), moderator analysis, and an outlook to Continuous Time Meta-Analysis (CoTiMA) using results from multiple studies. An official Instats certificate of completion is provided at the conclusion of the seminar. The seminar offers 2 ECTS Equivalent points for European PhD students.
