Spring On-Site Workshop
All on-site workshops will take place in the Tate Turner Kurault building on the UNC-Chapel Hill Campus. Registrants are responsible for their own travel and lodging arrangements.
Clinical Associate Professor
Ph.D., University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
This two-day workshop is designed for advanced graduate students, faculty, and professional researchers. During the workshop participants will gain familiarity with:
- the big ideas surrounding selection bias and causal inference;
- propensity score analysis techniques as an analytic response to minimize selection bias and bolster causal inference; and
- statistical techniques and syntax for conducting propensity score analyses via matching, weighting,
and stratification.
The workshop will include lecture and statistical analysis components. By the end of the workshop participants will be able to critically evaluate research that uses propensity score analysis so as to provide expert peer reviews and conduct defensible propensity score analyses using recommended practices. Though it is not necessary to be an R user to attend this workshop, participants should bring a laptop with R statistical software loaded. R is free and available at https://www.r-project.org. Example R syntax will be provided during the workshop.
