Workshop 6: Bayesian Longitudinal Data Modeling
Time: 1pm-4pm, July 3, China Time / 1am-4am, July 3, US Eastern Time
Location: In person at Fudan University and on Zoom (Free Registration)
This workshop is supported by the William K. and Katherine W. Estes Fund that is jointly overseen by the Association for Psychological Science and the Psychonomics Society.
Modeling longitudinal data is one of the most active areas of research in social, behavioral, and education sciences because longitudinal data can provide valuable insights into change and causal relationships. The application of Bayesian methods in longitudinal research has gained increasing popularity. This interactive workshop focuses on Bayesian methods in analyzing longitudinal data. Particularly, it will cover topics on growth mixture modeling, missing data analysis, and Bayesian model assessment. Concrete examples will be provided to illustrate how to compute, report, and interpret Bayesian modeling results with empirical psychological data.
