what students are saying
Thank you to Dr. Todd Little and his team for facilitating such a great statistical methods training workshop in Albuquerque. I absolutely got what I needed and was energized in my work when I returned to Cleveland. This was a wonderful experience that I will be sure to share with my colleagues here at CWRU. Now I am looking forward to mediation this summer in Albuquerque! Who knew I would be excited for more stats!
Leigh-Ann Sweeney, Ph.D., Lecturer and Health Service ResearcherI participated in the SEM: Foundations and Extended Applications course earlier this summer. It was such a wonderful statistics training opportunity that has, already, found lots of applications in various grant proposals and analyses. As I’ve said to several colleagues since, Stats Camp has a special ability to take something that prior to my arrival seemed overwhelming and complicated and make it seem so do-able.
Amy K. Syvertsen, Ph.D., Applied Developmental ScientistI can honestly say that for the first time in years I have been able to focus on myself and my research. I feel physically and mentally healthier than ever and I am excited about the cutting-edge knowledge and resources I am gaining in the rapidly evolving field of latent variable modeling. I am going to make it a goal to prioritize Statscamp for myself and graduate students on a yearly basis. Definitely recommend!
Sarah D. Lynne-Landsman, Ph.D., Family, Youth & Community SciencesThe Stats Camp instructors have an unmistakable dedication to research methods and data analysis of the very highest quality-but are remarkably balanced in their very obvious efforts to connect with others on a professional and personal level as very likable and real people. I really enjoyed the networking opportunities that the breakout sessions provided and will be returning for another Summer Camp soon!
Chen Zhang, Ph.D., Faculty University of MemphisThe highlight of the summer break was attending ‘Stats Camp,’ an educational camp in Albuquerque New Mexico that provides advanced-level training in Statistics. The 5-day class I took (‘SEM with Mplus’) passed by quickly, as an information-packed series of lectures, hands-on examples, personal consultations, and jokes. Classes were small, lectures succinct/direct, and training content based on each individual student requests.
Anna Yu Lee, PhD, MPH, MA, Counselor/TherapistThe Stats Camp instructor’s clear and practical presentation of material that was once intimidating to me has uncovered a powerful analytic tool. I feel comfortable that I’ve learned the correct application of SEM Foundations and Extended Applications from experts in the field. At the same time, I was introduced to cutting edge statistics techniques and I understand the advantages of their practical use and application.
Jenny Tehan, Ph.D., Department of Psychology University of AkronThe Stats Camp expert instructors were clear, concise, and helpful in addressing questions. Before attending, I was concerned that I would have trouble truly understanding all of the concepts and material in such a short time, but the instruction was fantastic and not overwhelming. I particularly found it advantageous to stay on-site at the Embassy Suites so I could participate in all of the after hours networking events.
Spiros Tzivelekis, Ph.D., GHE Director - AmgenI was impressed with the amount of material Dr. Todd Little and team were able to cover in Summer Camp. The instructors moved at a pace appropriate for the participants, adapted the materials as we went along to accommodate this pace, and still offered individual consultations. I am confident that I can take everything I learned, from the basic to the advanced topics & employ them independently in my own research.
Katie Paschall, Ph.D., Senior Research Scientist at Child TrendsI took both Foundations of SEM and Longitudinal SEM last summer and I have to say this has been one of the most useful learning experiences of my life. The courses were excellent! Everything was explained in a clear fashion with plenty of time for questions and practice. Learning was fun and the teaching happened at multiple levels, such that everyone would have a lot of knowledge gain regardless of their level of expertise.
Rodica Damian, Ph.D., Associate Professor University of California, DavisI can strongly recommend the Stats Camp Summer course in Longitudinal Mixture Modeling. It is as systematic and comprehensive as the very best of the research methods courses I have participated in since I moved from business to academics 12 years ago. It has been an important tool box for pulling apart differing effects in subpopulations for the coming generation of social and behavioral science researchers, starting now!
Alan R. Johnson, Ph.D., Senior Research Fellow at NORD University, Bodø, NorwayThe Summer Stats Camp training institute provides a wonderful opportunity for researchers and data analysts to learn the basic foundations of SEM as well as some advanced applications and research opportunities that SEM can facilitate. Dr. Little provides personable “hands-on”instruction in a relaxed and enjoyable environment. I highly recommend this summer institute to faculty and graduate students alike!
Paul Schrodt, Ph.D., Professor and Director of Graduate StudiesStats Camp is the place for a meeting of the minds and an opportunity to sit down and sort through complex ideas with people who can guide you, side-by-side, through the sticking points so you can get back into the flow. It’s amazing that something like this exists. Dr. Little has given the world a tremendous gift with Stats Camp. I walked in knowing nothing substantial and walked out delighted and better skilled.
Benjamin Theisen, Ph.D., Business Psychology Consulting GroupStats Camp was the most useful statistical training I’ve ever had. The instructors are down to earth and practical in their teaching style and the classroom environment was relaxed and non-threatening, which is necessary for such a potentially daunting topic. In particular, the one-on-one private consultation with my own data was invaluable, I highly recommend signing up for the Summer Stats Camp in Albuquerque!
Kris Carlson, Ph.D., Sandia National LaboratoriesIN PERSON – 5-day Bayesian Data Analysis Statistics Course
Seminar Overview:
This is a comprehensive five day Bayesian statistics course. This is our most popular training event each year where students and professionals have the opportunity to learn directly from a vetted statistics instructor. The live lectures and one-on-one Q & A provide a rare chance to bring your own personal research and let us help you break through any roadblocks standing in the way of progressing your work. The intended audience is advanced students, faculty, and other researchers, from all disciplines, who want a ground-floor introduction to doing Bayesian data analysis statistics.
Seminar Topics:
- The rich information provided by Bayesian analysis and how it differs from traditional (Frequentist) statistical analysis
- The concepts of Bayesian reasoning along with the easy math and intuitions for Bayes’ rule
- The concepts and hands-on use of modern algorithms (“Markov chain Monte Carlo”) that achieve Bayesian analysis for realistic applications
- How to use the free software R for Bayesian analysis.
- An extensive array of applications, including comparison of two groups, ANOVA-like designs, linear regression, logistic regression, multilevel regression, and growth models, count regression, robust regression, regularization and polynomials, and missing data treatments in Bayesian inference.
Seminar Description:
Many fields of science are transitioning from null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) to Bayesian Data Analysis Solutions. Bayesian analysis provides rich information about the relative credibilities of all candidate parameter values for any descriptive model of the data, without reference to p values. Bayesian analysis applies flexibly and seamlessly to complex hierarchical models and realistic data structures, including small samples, large samples, unbalanced designs, missing data, censored data, outliers, etc. Bayesian analysis software is flexible and can be used for a wide variety of data-analytic models. This seminar shows you how to do Bayesian data analysis, hands on.
