Little\, Ph.D.\n \nTodd D. Little\, Ph.D. is a Professor of Educational Psychology at Texas Tech University (TTU). Little is internationally recognized for his quantitative work on various aspects of applied SEM (e.g.\, indicator selection\, parceling\, modeling developmental processes) as well as his substantive developmental research (e.g.\, action-control processes and motivation\, coping\, and self-regulation). Prior to joining TTU\, …  Little has guided quantitative training and provided consultation to students\, staff\, and faculty at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development’s Center for Lifespan Studies (1991-1998)\, Yale University’s Department of Psychology (1998-2002)\, and researchers at KU (2002-2013\, including as director of the RDA unit at the Lifespan Institute and as director of the Center for Research Methods and Data Analysis). In 2001\, Little was elected to membership in the Society for Multivariate Experimental Psychology\, a restricted-membership society of quantitative specialists in the behavioral and social sciences.\n \nIn 2009\, he was elected President of APA’s Division 5 (Evaluation\, Measurement\, and Statistics). He founded\, organizes\, and teaches in the internationally renowned ‘Stats Camps’ each June (see statscamp.org for details of the summer training programs) and has given over 150 workshops and talks on methodology topics around the world. As an interdisciplinary-oriented collaborator\, Little has published with over 280 persons from around the world in over 65 different peer-reviewed journals. His work has garnered over 11\,000 citations. He published Longitudinal Structural Equation Modeling in 2013 and he has edited five books related to methodology\, including the Oxford Handbook of Quantitative Methods and the Guildford Handbook of Developmental Research Methods (with Brett Laursen and Noel Card). Little has served on numerous grant review panels for federal agencies such as NSF\, NIH\, and IES\, and private foundations such as the Jacobs Foundation. He has been the principal investigator or co-principal investigator on over 15 grants and contracts and he has served as a statistical consultant on over 70 grants and contracts. In the conduct of his collaborative research\, he has participated in the development of over 12 different measurement tools\, including the CAMI\, the Multi-CAM\, the BALES\, the BISC\, the I FEEL\, and the form/function decomposition of aggression. \n\n\n\nInstructor: Zachary Stickley\, Ph.D.\n \nZachary\, Ph.D. is a senior research scientist at Yhat Enterprises LLC. where he pursues his research interests in measurement design\, applied latent variable modeling\, and modern approaches to missing data.

Due to the intense personal focus of the retreat\, seats are very limited and fill fast. \nStatistical Retreat Venue:\nWhere: Grouse Mountain Lodge – Whitefish Montana USA\nAddress: 2 Fairway Dr\, Whitefish\, MT 59937\nWhen: September 18 – 21\, 8am CDT – 5pm CDT daily.\nAll Inclusive: Lodging (4 Nights 18-21 or 19-22)\, Training\, All Beverages/Snacks + 2 Meals Thurs (afternoon)\, 3 Fri\, 3 Sat\, 2 Meals Sun (morning).\nTravel Cost: Participant is responsible for air or ground travel to the venue. \nAnalysis Retreat Includes:\n\n\nIn person one-on-one statistics training\n\nHotel lodging provided\n\nAll meals and daily beverages & snacks provided\n\nMaterials\, downloads\, and software access\n\n\n\n\n\nRetreat Description\nRetreat Description:\n\nTodd D. Little\, Ph.D. developed Stats Camps Analysis Retreats to address the need for specialized expertise that is often needed to move complex research projects to approval and publication. Dr. Little is a preeminent award-earning scholar who has published over 300 peer-reviewed works that have garnered 46\,611+ citations. \nMembers of the Stats Camp team are highly experienced and many have decades of experience in resolving complex analytical challenges with an understanding of best-practices procedures. You will have exclusive access to their expertise as they guide you to a final publication-ready product. \nExpert consulting at this level can quickly run into the tens of thousands of dollars. By bringing our team together with you at an exclusive and personalized all-inclusive Stats Camp Analysis Retreat\, we can offer this unprecedented access at a much more affordable price. \n\nWho Should Attend?\nWho Should Attend?\nIf you are in the pre-data analysis phase\, Stats Camp staff will engage with you to develop a testable research hypothesis\, a fully articulated analysis plan\, and ensure full understanding of the analysis model\, the nature of its results\, and their implications. \nIf you are in the analysis phase\, Stats Camp staff will work with you to learn the software syntax needed to analyze your data\, interpret the output and understand the implications of your findings. \nBreakout sessions will cover a vast array of techniques and topics. Some topics are predetermined while others will be prepared specifically to meet your needs and the needs of the other participants (a survey will be given prior to the event to develop this need list of topics to cover). \nWhat to expect\nWhat to expect:\nParticipants in our past annual Stats Camp Analysis Retreats were overwhelming positive about the individualized learning that took place as well as the opportunity to work with their own data – a practical aspect that makes learning easier. Because participants are enabled to ask questions and get immediate feedback\, learning the practical analytic skills is facilitated. Also\, participants learned about different topics tailored to their learning needs. \nParticipants uniformly exclaimed that the learning activities and interaction with the Stats Camp instructors contributed to publishing more articles and increased the quality of their research\, which has allowed them to target higher impact factor journals. Because quantitative methods are a critical gap in most fields\, the Stats Camp experience helped clarify the essential importance of quantitative methods. By learning the basics of applying these methods\, the knowledge is thereby carried over to other colleagues and students\, and ultimately helping to close the gap. \nThe Stats Camp Analysis Retreat is a perfect combination of learning and fun from the comfort of a beautiful lodge in an amazing destination\, networking in a collegial and social context. Having the stats camp in a retreat format\, gives you ample time\, motivation\, and access to incomparable expertise to propel your research forward. \nSchedule\nSchedule: Below is an example of our standard in-person schedule of events.

Little\, Ph.D. developed Stats Camps Analysis Retreats to address the need for specialized expertise that is often needed to move complex research projects to approval and publication. Dr. Little is a preeminent award-earning scholar who has published over 300 peer-reviewed works that have garnered 46\,611+ citations. \nMembers of the Stats Camp team are highly experienced and many have decades of experience in resolving complex analytical challenges with an understanding of best-practices procedures. You will have exclusive access to their expertise as they guide you to a final publication-ready product. \nExpert consulting at this level can quickly run into the tens of thousands of dollars. By bringing our team together with you at an exclusive and personalized all-inclusive Stats Camp Analysis Retreat\, we can offer this unprecedented access at a much more affordable price. \n\nWho Should Attend?\nWho Should Attend?\nIf you are in the pre-data analysis phase\, Stats Camp staff will engage with you to develop a testable research hypothesis\, a fully articulated analysis plan\, and ensure full understanding of the analysis model\, the nature of its results\, and their implications. \nIf you are in the analysis phase\, Stats Camp staff will work with you to learn the software syntax needed to analyze your data\, interpret the output and understand the implications of your findings. \nBreakout sessions will cover a vast array of techniques and topics. Some topics are predetermined while others will be prepared specifically to meet your needs and the needs of the other participants (a survey will be given prior to the event to develop this need list of topics to cover). \nWhat to expect\nWhat to expect:\nParticipants in our past annual Stats Camp Analysis Retreats were overwhelming positive about the individualized learning that took place as well as the opportunity to work with their own data – a practical aspect that makes learning easier. Because participants are enabled to ask questions and get immediate feedback\, learning the practical analytic skills is facilitated. Also\, participants learned about different topics tailored to their learning needs. \nParticipants uniformly exclaimed that the learning activities and interaction with the Stats Camp instructors contributed to publishing more articles and increased the quality of their research\, which has allowed them to target higher impact factor journals. Because quantitative methods are a critical gap in most fields\, the Stats Camp experience helped clarify the essential importance of quantitative methods. By learning the basics of applying these methods\, the knowledge is thereby carried over to other colleagues and students\, and ultimately helping to close the gap. \nThe Stats Camp Analysis Retreat is a perfect combination of learning and fun from the comfort of a beautiful lodge in an amazing destination\, networking in a collegial and social context. Having the stats camp in a retreat format\, gives you ample time\, motivation\, and access to incomparable expertise to propel your research forward. \nSchedule\nSchedule: Below is an example of our standard in-person schedule of events.
