May 31st & June 1st
Instructor: Dr Tenko RaykovMeasurement and Quantitative Methods Graduate Program, 
Michigan State University
This workshop covers mechanisms (types) and patterns of missing data, and state-of-the-art best practices for handling missingness: (1) full information maximum likelihood and (2) multiple imputation methods. The flaws of traditional methods for dealing with missing data will also be covered and hands-on illustrations using real world data will be provided throughout using the highly popular latent variable modeling package Mplus. No prior knowledge of Mplus is assumed or required, and all data examples used are carried out with the freely downloadable demo version.
June 5th, 6th & 7th
Instructor: Dr Dave Armstrong
Centre for Computational and Quantitative Social Science, University of Western Ontario
This seminar introduces interactive graphs that can be made easily in R and shows how to incorporate those interactive elements into a dashboard that you can use to powerfully communicate your research results. Topics include an overview of ggplots, turning ggplots into interactive visualizations, making interactive network graphs and maps, and combining interactive elements into dashboards. Finally, we discuss how to host these dashboards so others can interact with them.
June 5th, 6th, & 7th  
Instructor: Dr Mariola Moeyaert
School of Education, University at Albany, and Statistical Solutions Inc.
This seminar will introduce you to advanced meta-analytic methods. Commonly encountered meta-analytic topics and issues will be covered, including meta-regression models, methods for handling multiple effect sizes per study (i.e., dependent effect sizes), missing data, publication bias, meta-analysis SEM, and single-case experiments meta-analysis. During this seminar, participants will learn how to use RStudio to model these commonly encountered complexities. Hands-on exercises will be incorporated throughout the seminar.
