Mixed effect models in R

Join us for a practical session on mixed-effects models in R

The talk will cover techniques used to implement and run mixed-effects models, specifically Linear Mixed Models (LMM) and Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GLMM) in R. It will also detail assumptions of the tests and common pitfalls in application. You’ll learn about the models in the context of common research examples from the areas of Psychology and Psycholinguistics.

Our speaker Natalia Resende is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie research fellow at Adapt Centre, School of Computing, Dublin City University. Her expertise is in the domains of Psycholinguistics, Natural Language Processing and Machine Translation. More recently, her work focuses on investigating how machine translation systems (such as the popular Google Translate system) impact the processing of English as a second language in the human brain. Natália Resende graduated in English teaching from Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil. She has received her PhD in Psycholinguistics from the Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil in 2015 and her masters in Natural Language Processing from Wolverhampton University, United Kingdom, in 2009.
