<strong>ADVANCED</strong> <strong>DATA</strong> <strong>ANALYSIS</strong> I<br />
SOC 6708<br />
Fall 2009<br />
Pr<strong>of</strong>essor David Brownfield<br />
This course will focus on the application <strong>of</strong> categorical data analysis techniques. Among<br />
the topics to be covered will be partitioning <strong>of</strong> polytomous variables, scaling techniques for<br />
ordered polytomies, and weighted regression techniques. Latent variable methods including the<br />
Rasch model and latent structure analysis will be presented. Special models including uniform<br />
association and row and column effects will also be considered. We will analyze incomplete<br />
tables with a discussion <strong>of</strong> quasi-independence and mobility ratios. Finally, we will consider<br />
some nonrecursive and missing data methods. Comparisons with hierarchical linear models will<br />
be discussed.<br />
The course grade will be based on a set <strong>of</strong> short assignments (approximately three or<br />
four) that will each be about 4-5 pages in length (with brief descriptions <strong>of</strong> samples analyzed and<br />
interpretation <strong>of</strong> results and models assessed, summarized in two or three tables) (90%), and<br />
class participation (10%).<br />
