I'd like to let members of Polmeth know that there are still seats
available in the following workshop:
Dynamic Models for Social Scientists and Policy Analysts
Instructor: Harold D. Clarke, University of Texas at Dallas
Dates: July 11-15, 2016
Location: Ann Arbor, Michigan
This is an applied course on dynamic modeling for social scientists and
policy analysts. Starting with time series regression analysis, the course
considers important dynamic models including ARIMA, ARFIMA, Error
Correction, Fractional Error Correction, GARCH, VAR/VECM and State Space
models. Key concepts such as (non)stationarity, exogeneity and Granger
Causality are used to inform model specification, model
comparison/selection and post-estimation diagnostics. The emphasis is on
practical applications and participants learn how to use widely available
software packages such as STATA, R, Rats and Eviews to analyze dynamic
models in their fields of interest. Students are invited to bring their own
data sets to daily lab sessions.
Prerequisites: Participants should have taken an introductory course in
applied statistics thru OLS regression and be familiar with the standard
Windows computing environment. Basic knowledge of a major statistical
software package such as R, SPSS or STATA is helpful, but not required.
