2008 - Two new training courses from VSNi
1. Introduction to GenStat: 25th February 2008
2. Regression, nonlinear and generalized linear models in GenStat: 26th -
27th February 2008
Location: Hertfordshire
Introduction to GenStat - 25th February 2008
Who Should Attend: Anyone with keyboard skills, experience of Windows
software packages and who has a need to be familiar with GenStat.
Duration: 1 day
Aim of Course: To give participants an overview of the complete GenStat
system and furnish them with the basic skills required to begin
visualising and analysing data in GenStat
Regression, nonlinear and generalized linear models in GenStat - 26th -
27th February 2008
Who Should Attend: Some familiarity with GenStat is necessary (for example
from an Introductory GenStat Course). You should also be aware of the
standard probability distributions (Normal, binomial and Poisson), but
there will be no need for any complicated maths. On each day the lectures
will be interspersed with practicals to introduce you to real-life data
sets and illustrate the methods. The practicals also give you the
opportunity to discuss your own problems and investigations with the
presenters.
Duration: 2 day
Overview: Regression is one of the most widely used methods in statistics,
and one that is still producing new and exciting techniques. This 2-day
course starts by explaining ordinary linear regression (with one or
several variables), and then extends the ideas to nonlinear models and on
to generalized linear models – so that you can analyse counts and
proportions as well as the more usual numeric variables. The final session
will introduce some of the most recent developments in generalized linear
models, including Youngjo Lee and John Nelder’s hierarchical generalized
linear models, to bring you fully up-to-date with the range of
possibilities.
