The Institute of Mixture Modeling for Equity-Oriented Researchers, Scholars, and Educators (IMMERSE) is an IES funded training grant (R305B220021) to support education scholars in integrating mixture modeling into their research.
Learning Outcomes:
Fellows will be able to create a first draft of their equity-focused research goals that can be addressed with mixture modeling in the upcoming year.
Fellows will be able to identify how the IMMERSE training goals and opportunities can help them to apply mixture modeling training their research goals
Synchronous Activity:
Asynchronous Activity:
Activity 1: Thoughts on articles from expert consultants (starting on slide 17 of the Workspace slides)
Activity 2: Create a draft of your research goals (starting on slide 20 of the Workspace slides]
Prepartion:
Learning Outcomes:
Using Mplus software, fellows will learn the basic skeleton of an Mplus input (.inp) syntax, run basic descriptive statistics, and evaluate output (.out)
Using the MplusAutomation
package, fellows will will
be able to run descriptive statistics in R.
This workshop will cover the creation of R-projects and R markdowns and discuss the benefits of organization of the R workflow.
Fellows will have the opportunity to learn how to enhance and customize their R markdowns by applying themes to their documents
