Day 1 – 27th of Aug 2012 (click here for the slides)
Welcome by Rens van de Schoot – VIDEO
Surprise session: graphical interface; Hardware requirements; Computational time; Overview of the new features in V7; moderated mediation using the LOOP statement; the new DO option; the BY statement with random loadings; overview of Bayesian methods. Unfortunately there appeared to be a malfunctioning of the laptop screen and we don’t have the lecture slides in this video. For a demonstration of the new Diagrammer, see video 7
