Apologies for cross-posting. We would like to announce: A 5 day mixed modelling, GLMM and GAMM course in Newburgh, UK. When: Monday 21 May until Friday 25 May 2007. Where: Ythan hotel, Newburgh, Aberdeenshire, UK. Keywords: GAM/GLM for time series. GAM/GLM for spatial data. Regression models for time series or spatial data. Course: "Analysing Biological and Environmental Data -Using mixed modelling, generalised linear mixed modelling and generalised additive mixed modelling-". The main subject of the course is mixed modelling (nested data), generalised least squares (different variance components, auto-correlation for time series and spatial correlation), generalised linear mixed modelling (Poisson and Binomial), generalised additive mixed modelling (Poisson and Binomial), and repeated measurements. Open to: Anyone. This is a non-technical course for biologist and environmental scientists. Pre-required knowledge: You need to read either (i) chapters 4, 5, 6 and 7 of Zuur, AF, Ieno, EN, Smith, GM (2006-In Press). The analysis of ecological data. Springer. 700p, or (ii) attend one of our univariate GLM & GAM course. Price: 600 GBP (for students and non-students). Prices are excluding 17.5% VAT. The fee includes coffee and tea, course material and a 1-year license for Brodgar. Early booking is recommended. Due to popular demand we cannot offer reduction. Accommodation is around 40 GBP per night (provided you book early) but is not included in the course fee. We are close to Aberdeen airport. Maximum number of participants: 15. You need to bring your own laptop, though we have a few spare ones. Outline. Monday: Revision of Chapters 4-7 in Zuur et al (2006, In Press). Tuesday: Mixed modelling with random effects. Additive models with random effects. Wednesday: GLM and GAM with random effects. Auto-correlation functions for time series and variograms for spatial data. Generalised least squares; different variances and auto-correlation structure. Thursday: Temporal auto-correlation in GLM and GAM. Friday: Spatial auto-correlations in GLM and GAM. Alternative spatial methods: simultaneous autoregressive model (SAR), spatial moving average models (SMA). What to write in a paper. Catch-up, case studies and presenting results for your own data.
