EPRS 9570 - Hierarchical Linear Modeling I

3 Credit Hours
Prerequisites: EPRS 8550.
Requirements: A minimum grade of “C” is required for this course.

Description
This is the first course in a sequence of two courses (including EPRS 9571) designed to provide theoretical and applied understandings of hierarchical linear modeling. Foundational knowledge of HLM is taught by extending knowledge of regression analyses to designs involving a nested data structure. Other basic concepts in HLM are also taught, including intraclass correlation and crosslevel interaction. The course also includes instruction in programming for and interpretation of the output for computer software for conducting HLM.
