This workshop is targeted to researchers interested in measurement models, which include item response theory, using latent variable methods. The format of the course will a balanced mix of didactic sessions and hands-on training/demonstration sessions. The workshop is led by applied researchers who use Mplus software in their day-to-day research to address applied aging research questions using latent variable modeling.

What distinguishes this workshop is a focus on applied use of Mplus software (building, fitting and interpreting output from models), rather than a broad survey of modeling approaches capable of being addressed with Mplus or a technical treatment of the statistical theory underlying the modeling approach.
