New additions to our web site

The ATS Statistical Consulting Group is proud to announce two new additions to our web site. First, we have completed most of the textbook examples for Applied Survival Analysis, Second Edition by Hosmer, Lemeshow and May. We have completed most of the examples in most of the chapters in SAS, Stata and SPSS. We will start doing the examples in R as time permits. If you are familiar with the first edition of this text, or if you are interested in survival analysis, we think that you will find this book very useful. To see the examples, please visit http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/examples/asa2/default.htm .

The second big addition to our website is a series of movies featuring Professor Muthen describing, explaining and illustrating new methods for latent variable modeling in Mplus 5.1. Cool new methods include exploratory structural equation modeling and a new method of handling missing data. There are several movies that you can watch by visiting http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/mplus/seminars/whatsnew_in_mplus5_1/default.htm .

Besides all of this, we have also added several new FAQs, some dealing with the analysis of spatial data and others dealing with the explanation and interpretation of two-way and three-way interaction terms in regression.

We hope that you find these new materials useful! Enjoy!
