Join our workshop on Factor Analysis in R, which is a part of our workshops for Ukraine series! 

Here’s some more info: 

Title: Factor Analysis in R

Date: Thursday, February 1st, 18:00 – 20:00 CET (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone)

Speaker: Gagan Atreya is a quantitative social scientist and data science consultant based in Los Angeles, California. He has graduate degrees in Experimental Psychology and Quantitative Political Science from The College of William & Mary in Virginia and The University of Minnesota respectively. He has multiple years of experience in data analysis and visualization in the social sciences – both as a researcher and a consultant with faculty and researchers around the world. You can find him in Bluesky at @gaganatreya.bsky.social.

Description: This workshop will go through the basics of Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis in the R programming language. Factor Analysis is a valuable statistical technique widely used in Psychology, Economics, Political Science, and related disciplines that allows us to uncover the underlying structure of our data by reducing it to coherent factors. The workshop will heavily (but not exclusively) utilize the “psych” and “lavaan” packages in R. Although open to everyone, a beginner level familiarity with R and some background/interest in survey data analysis will be ideal to make the most out of this workshop.
