Full Description:: The course will provide participants with an understanding of the varying methods of analysis to calculate differences between groups as well as differences within groups.

The focus of this module will be on clustered data. That is, data that is nested in high-ordered structures (students, within classrooms, within schools, within suburbs).

This module will demonstrate how to analyse clustered or nested data and how to account for correlation of variance.

Learning objectives

On completing this module, participants will have an understanding of:
1. Clustered data and hierarchical structures
2. The importance of accounting for correlation of variance due to clustering
3. How to model data accounting for within group and between group variation
4. How to test for differences between groups after accounting for clustering
5. How to visually display clustered data
6. How to interpret results from these tests.
