The Spring Seminar is a training course for social scientists interested in advanced techniques of data analysis and in the application of these techniques to data. The Seminar comprises lectures, exercises and practical work using personal computers. While in the lectures the logic of models and the corresponding analysis strategies will be explained, during the exercises and in the practical work the participants are given the opportunity to apply these methods to data. As in the past Spring Seminars, the focus will be on teaching multivariate analysis techniques. In 2007 the general topic will be ‘Advanced Categorical Data Analysis (CDA)’. In addition to the lectures, the participants will be provided with information about functions and services of the Zentralarchiv which is the German data archive for survey data.
