In April and May, we’re doing something new: including in membership the workshop Interpreting (Even Tricky) Regression Coefficients with Karen Grace-Martin.
We’ll be releasing the first 3 of 6 modules in April and modules 4-6 in May and holding a special Q&A with Karen at the end of each month.
If you’ve ever wanted to know how to interpret your results or set up your model to get the information you needed, you’ll love this workshop.
Although it’s at Stage 2 and focuses entirely on linear models, everything applies to all sorts of regression models — logistic, multilevel, count models. All of them.

There are two main types of factor analysis: exploratory and confirmatory.

Many variables we want to measure just can’t be directly measured with a single variable. Instead you have to combine a set of variables into a single index.
But how do you determine which variables to combine and how best to combine them?
Exploratory Factor Analysis.
EFA is a method for finding a measurement for one or more unmeasurable (latent) variables from a set of related observed variables. It is especially useful for scale construction.
In this webinar, you will learn through three examples an overview of EFA, including:
- The five steps to conducting an EFA
- Key concepts like rotation
- Factor scores
- The importance of interpretability
Note: This training is an exclusive benefit to members of the Statistically Speaking Membership Program and part of the Stat’s Amore Trainings Series. Each Stat’s Amore Training is approximately 90 minutes long.
About the Instructor

Karen Grace-Martin helps statistics practitioners gain an intuitive understanding of how statistics is applied to real data in research studies.
She has guided and trained researchers through their statistical analysis for over 15 years as a statistical consultant at Cornell University and through The Analysis Factor. She has master’s degrees in both applied statistics and social psychology and is an expert in SPSS and SAS.

It’s never too early to set yourself up for successful analysis with support and training from expert statisticians.
Just head over and sign up for Statistically Speaking.
You'll get access to this training webinar, 130+ other stats trainings, a pathway to work through the trainings that you need — plus the expert guidance you need to build statistical skill with live Q&A sessions and an ask-a-mentor forum.
Binary logistic regression is one of the most useful regression models. It allows you to predict, classify, or understand explanatory relationships between a set of predictors and a binary outcome.

How do you know if the items of a test are hard or easy; fair or biased; accurate at measuring ability or not? 
Item Response Theory (IRT).
In this training, you will see, with real life examples, how IRT answers these questions to assess a test.

How do you know when to use a time series and when to use a linear mixed model for longitudinal data?
What’s the difference between repeated measures data and longitudinal?
