PSYCHOLOGY | Workshop II: Network Psychometrics: Longitudinal Data Modeling

Note: this workshop is one of two that aim to provide expert guidance for researchers and practitioners interested in learning the basics of network modeling for social science, and count toward the Professional Certificate (PC) in Network Psychometrics for Behavioral and Social Scientists.

Course Synopsis

This workshop will focus on longitudinal data modeling in the context of network psychometrics. The material will move the focus from cross-sectional data sets to data sets of one or more people measured repeatedly over time and provide the necessary skills to independently estimate network models from longitudinal data. The workshop will consist of plenary lectures (2h), followed by seminar-style computer practicals (1.5h).

Learning Outcomes

After completing this workshop, attendees will be able to:

• Understand when to use single measurement, panel, and intensive time-series data
• Explain the difference between within-subject effects and between-subject effects
• Estimate vector-autoregression models from longitudinal data
• Critically assess the interpretation from longitudinal data analyses
• Understand the basics of multi-level analysis
• Estimate personalized network models from single subject time-series
• Estimate multi-level network models from time-series data of multiple participants
• Estimate network models from panel data
• Incorporate latent variable and measurement errors in (longitudinal) network models
