COORDINATE Harmonisation Workshop 2 – Hands-on data
In this workshop, Scott Milligan, from the GESIS Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences, leads the participants through a complete data harmonisation exercise based on an R script that appears like those offered in the Harmonisation Toolbox (see COORDINATE Harmonisation Workshop 1). The exercise demonstrates the harmonisation process using an extended example examining the correlation between bullying and children's happiness based on a set of simulated data sets. The data sets and the associated R code can be downloaded so that the participants can follow along.
