Apologies for cross-posting.
We would like to announce two workshops on
statistical modelling in January 2016:
Introduction to Statistical Modelling and
Spatial Modelling Methods for Correlated Data
Centre for Research into Ecological and
Environmental Modelling
12th – 15th and 18th
- 21st January 2016, University of St. Andrews
The Centre for Research into Ecological and
Environmental Modelling (CREEM) at the University of St. Andrews will be running
two ‘Statistical Modelling’ workshops to introduce both basic and more advanced
techniques.
Introduction to Statistical Modelling (4 days)
This workshop will take place 12th
- 15th January 2015 and will cover Exploratory Data Anaysis,
Confidence Intervals, Linear Models, Generalised Linear Models to help
participants analyse continuous, presence/absence and count data and
Generalised Estimating Equations for modeling correlated data.
Spatial Modelling Methods for Correlated Data
(4 days)
This workshop will take place 18th – 21st January
2016 and covers one dimensional and two dimensional smoothing using more
traditional and recently developed methods. The correlated aspect of the data
is addressed using Generalised Estimating Equations (GEEs). These will be
covered in more detail than in the introductory workshop. The initial
example will be using count data (Poisson) however towards the end of the
workshop we will also cover models for categorical data (e.g. Binomial,
Binary and Multinomial response types).
Both courses will be heavily data-based and
presented using large scale offshore wind farm data. The R software
package will be used for workshop-based practical’s. Computer sessions
take place in our computer classroom (attached to the seminar room) and
participants can use our computers or bring their own laptops.
