> Sir David Cox and Professor Nanny Wermuth have kindly agreed to offer a
> short two day course in Ottawa, May 15 & 16, 2000. It will be fairly
> similar to a course they gave in Toronto last fall entitled GRAPHICAL
> MARKOV MODELS: THEIR ROLE IN STATISTICAL ANALYSIS. I managed to attend
> that course along with some of my colleagues from Toronto area teaching
> hospitals. Given my experience and comments from others, I would encourage
> anyone interested in applying statistics (and who did not attend the
> Toronto course) to consider attending this May's course - even if their
> greatest current interest is not in graphical models. Many issues and
> themes that arise in almost any form of careful data analysis, complex or
> otherwise, were raised and candidly discussed.
>
> A formal announcement, new course description and tuition fees will soon
> follow. The tuition will be modest and especially so for students and
> likely will include a copy of the presenters' book "Multivariate
> Dependencies - Models, Analysis and Interpretation" (London: Chapman and
> Hall, 1996). The course is being sponsored by the Department of
> Epidemiology and Community Health of the University of Ottawa and the Loeb
> Health Research Institute at The Ottawa Hospital.
