Maximum Likelihood Estimation 

Q-Step is a £19.5 million programme designed to promote a step-change in quantitative social science training. Over a five-year period from 2013, fifteen universities across the UK are delivering specialist undergraduate programmes, including new courses, work placements and pathways to postgraduate study. Expertise and resources will be shared across the higher education sector through an accompanying support programme, which will also forge links with schools and employers.

Maximum Likelihood Estimation  Niccole Pamphilis, Deputy Director of Q-Step, Lecturer in Quantitative Social Sciences , University of Glasgow. Email: niccole.pamphilis@glasgow.ac.uk August 20th-22nd 2018, The University of Glasgow.
Sessions will take place in Lab L, 1113, Adam Smith Building
 Course Description
This course offers participants an introduction to a range of statistical models beyond those available using standard linear regression analysis. The course will teach students about logit and probit models for dependent variables with binary outcomes as well as ordered models and multinomial models for categorical dependent variables. Participants will learn about the assumptions of each model and how to properly test if the model assumptions hold in addition to expressing model results graphically. Background knowledge of OLS Regression and basic training and understanding of SPSS, R, or Stata are expected.

Tuesday: Morning: Logit and Probit Models • Estimation Approach • Differences Between Models • Interpretation of Results • Graphing Results • Model Diagnostics Afternoon: Computer Lab Session • Running Models • Running Tests • Graphing: Marginal Effects Plots
