-----------------------------------------
A short course taught by Lyle Gurrin.
Monday 11 - Friday 15 August 2008, Copenhagen
(the week prior to ISCB in Copenhagen).

This course is practically oriented, half of the time will be at the
computer, and extensive guidance in practicals and solutions will be
provided.
The course will be run over 5 days, with alternating lectures and
practical computing sessions. Example analyses will include
meta-analysis of clinical trials, longitudinal analysis of biometry
and method comparison studies. Throughout the course we will
illustrate differences between classical and Bayesian approaches to
analysis of the same problems.
The practical part of the course will be based on BUGS, accessed
through R using the R2WinBUGS package. Emphasis will be on
illustrating how to take the practical examples all the way from data
formatting to the reporting stage in terms of tabulations, graphics
etc. Participants are requested to bring laptops; we will provide
instructions in advance about what to install in addition to
assistance during the course.
