Dear Colleagues, We are trying to organise a stats workshop in Melbourne, Australia forAugust 2014. The workshop/s (depending on demand) will berun by Alain Zuur, a leading ecological modeller (http://www.highstat.com). At this stage, the workshop will either be on mixed models or zero inflated models. The cost of one workshop (5 days) is AU$1,000 per person. This does not cover accommodation or food. Unfortunately we cannot offer any travel grants to students or a reduced price. The maximum number of participants is 30 per workshop.
