We are announcing 2 courses, which are scheduled to take place in June 2005, at The University of Reading. Summary information is given below. For more detailed information and registration forms please see http://www.ssc.rdg.ac.uk providing your address and/or fax number or email [log in to unmask] Multivariate Analysis Dates: 6-7 June 2005. Duration: 2 days. Price: £540 (or £155 per half-day module). (The fee for attending this course together with Repeated Measurements Analysis (6-10 June) is £1125.) Multivariate Analysis is concerned with methods of analysing data that consist of observations on two or more variables for each individual or unit. Multivariate data will generally be correlated, and a wide variety of techniques are available to analyse these data. During this course commonly used multivariate techniques will be introduced and developed, and relationships between them examined. Principles will be illustrated using the SAS computer package, the emphasis being on the interpretation of results. Repeated Measurements Analysis Dates: 8-10 June 2005. Duration: 2.5 days (course closes Friday lunchtime). Price: £675. (The fee for attending this course together with Multivariate Analysis (6-10 June) is £1125.) In a repeated measurements experiment a sequence of observations is collected for each subject or unit. This raises certain complexities in terms of the analysis of the data. First of all, the comparison of treatments is now in terms of a profile of responses over a period of time, rather than just one single response variable. Secondly the observations are likely to be correlated over time rendering conventional statistical methods inappropriate. During this course the main types of analysis, from simple methods to modern mixed modelling approaches, are explored and compared. SAS software will be used in lectures and hands-on computer practical to illustrate the different techniques. Cancellation. Please note that our courses may not run if fewer than 6 people have registered 3 weeks before the course is scheduled to take place.
