Longitudinal Data Analysis for Social Science Researchers Training workshop

The Longitudinal Data Analysis for Social Science Researchers (LDA) training materials include a collection of extended example sessions in which SPSS and STATA commands are used to illustrate techniques of longitudinal data management and data analysis. This document acts as a guide to the content of those sessions. The sessions hinge upon example command files in the SPSS and STATA languages. Those files are available for download from the LDA Web site (and/or on discs during taught workshops). However, those command files also draw upon further data and programme files, and it is also necessary that users ensure that those relevant files are stored somewhere appropriately on the machine being used.
