[Bgsa] Fwd: [ECOLOG-L] AIC MODEL SELECTION COURSES -- SUMMER 2012

[Ashkaan F]

Hi all,

David Anderson does a 2-day crash course in information theory --
specifically, model selection and likelihood. He will be making his rounds
around various campuses this summer. I was wondering if anyone would be
interested in banding together and getting David out here? Information on
the course, fees, etc. are below. If you are interested let me know, and if
I get enough replies we can contact him and get moving.

I am planning to offer several 2-day courses on the Information-Theoretic
approaches to statistical inference over the coming summer months. These
courses focus on the practical application of these new methods and are
based on Kullback-Leibler information and Akaike's information criterion
(AIC). The material follows my recent textbook,

Anderson, D. R. 2008. Model based inference in the life sciences: a primer
on evidence. Springer, New York, NY 184pp.

A copy of this book is included in the registration fee. These courses
stress science and science philosophy as much as "statistical methods."  The
focus is on quantification and qualification of formal evidence concerning
alternative science hypotheses.

These courses can be hosted, organized, and delivered at your university,
agency, institute, or training center. I have given over 50 such courses and
they have been well received. The courses are informative and the material
is fun to understand. For more insights into what these courses are about,
see

Details on the course costs and related material can be found at

If you are interested in hosting a course at your location, please contact
me.

Thank you.
