Overview

Relationships between two variables are often more complex than a simple bivariate model. Both mediation and moderation involve using a third variable to help explain the relationship between two variables. These two concepts are often confused, but their implications are quite different.

Join Meghan Cain, Senior Statistician, for an introduction to performing and interpreting mediation and moderation in Stata. In this webinar, you will learn how to distinguish between mediation and moderation and how to conduct both analyses using Stata's regress and sem commands. We will discuss the different ways that moderation can be evaluated, including group analysis, the different types of standard errors used in mediation analysis, and other tools that can make both of these analyses easier to conduct and interpret.

How to join

The webinar is free, but you must register to attend. Registrations are limited so register soon.
