Title: "Sequential Data Analysis"

Day: Wednesday, June 1, 2005

Time: 9:00-12:00

Location: C02

Leader: Gijsbert Erkens, Utrecht University, the Netherlands

Description: During the tutorial participants will be introduced in methods of sequential data analysis of interaction, especially lag-sequential analysis. In lag-sequential analysis the transition patterns between states (i.e. coded events) in a interaction protocol can be statistically tested on different intervals between the states (lags). In this way sequential patterns may be discovered. The tutorial offers hands-on experience with MEPA. MEPA (Multiple Episode Protocol Analysis) is a computer program for coding and analysis of interaction data like collaborative dialogues, email forums, electronic discussions, etc. Coded dialogue protocols will be available to practice. However, participants can bring their own data (in Excel format) to analyze.
