Configurational Comparative Methods (CCM) are increasingly in social science research. The workshop will introduce to these methods mainly on focusing on Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA). We will first introduce the conceptional basics of QCA and then looking at different refinements. Various applications of CCM will be studied and the software used for QCA will be introduced. Finally, current developments in CCM research are briefly presented.
The software introduced in this course is only available for Windows OS:

Doing a PhD begins with writing a research proposal, which explains a project of academic or scientific research. The proposal shall give information about the form and procedures for research.
The workshop gives answers to the following questions:
Step by step we will take a view on strategies to navigate the hazards of writing research proposals, which is one of the most difficult as well as unavoidable requirements of graduate study.

Most surveys are affected by missing data. Depending on the mechanism that led to the observed pattern of missing and observed data, inferences based on the observed part of the data set using standard analysis tools may be severely biased. Thus, in the first part of the lecture, the missing mechanisms leading to data that are missing completely at random (MCAR), missing at random (MAR) or not missing at random (NMAR) will be discussed. In the second part, we will look at different methods to compensate for missing units and missing items. The emphasis in this part is on weighting to compenaste for unit nonresponse and multiple imputation to compensate for item nonresponse.

Qualitative research methods have gained more and more importance and acceptance in social sciences. Especially expert interviews, group discussions and observations are applicable for behaviour oriented research questions on individual-, group-, and organisational level. The workshop will be aligned to the individual needs with regard to their own qualitative projects or interests. Sampling, theoretical background, interview techniques, transcription and data-preparations for analyses are main topics to be concerned within the two sessions.

Starting with a basic level introduction to R and its concepts the course will cover typical problems arising in research using statistical tools. Focus will be on the tool R itself, not on the underlying statistics. Nevertheless procedures for descriptive statistics, regression, and time series analysis methods will be given in the examples. Following a ‘natural’ workflow for statisticians the course will cover reading (and cleaning) data, generating graphs and reports, defining functions for repetitive work and keeping research reproducible.
