From Monday, 14th February to Wednesday, 16th February 2022, an intensive three-day advanced training course in Group-based Trajectory Modeling will take place at Tallinn University. The course is carried out by Prof. Thomas Loughran who is a Professor of Sociology, Criminology, and Public Policy and Director of the Graduate Program in Criminology at the Pennsylvania State University. 
This course aims to provide researchers and ESRs at TLU with the training to apply a group-based trajectory modelling method which allows to a) identify distinctive groups of trajectories, b) estimate the proportion of population following each such trajectory, c) relate group membership probability to individual characteristics and circumstances, and d) use the group membership probabilities for various other purposes such as creating profiles of group members.

The program supports developing of knowledge and skills in using STATA for preparation and analysis of longitudinal data for estimating developmental trajectories, adding time-varying covariates, modeling turning points in the context of a GBTM and studying the unfolding of distinct but related behaviors.

The training course is organized by the TLU Center of Excellence in Interdisciplinary Life Studies (IET), funded by the European Union Regional Development Fund (ASTRA project "TLU TEE Tallinn University as a promoter of intelligent lifestyle").
