Bootcamp slots still available

[Stefan Th. Gries]

Hi all

Some quick self-advertising (with apologies, should be the last or second-to-last time for this calendar year). There are still two slots available in a 'Statistical modeling with R' bootcamp taking place 03-07 Sept 2018 at Maria Curie - Skłodowska University in Lublin, Poland. Also, I can now give more info about the content of both this one (and the one in Erfurt), which go considerably beyond what SFLWR2 offers:

###########################################

Day 1:

- simple and multifactorial linear regression modeling

- interactions, model selection & simplification (predictors & levels)

- orthogonal contrasts, predictions, model diagnostics and validation

- different approaches to curvature

Day 2:

- simple and multifactorial generalized linear regression modeling

- predictions and approaches to model validation

- exercises on examples data set(s)

Day 3:

- intro to linear mixed-effects modeling

- re-analyzing published data: 3 case studies

- excursus:

-- writing your own functions

-- multimodel inferencing

-- remarks on multicollinearity

Day 4:

- residualization

- generalized linear mixed-effects & multilevel modeling

- reanalyzing published data: 2 case studies

- excursus: influential data points

Day 5:

- classification and regression trees: 3 different packages

- problems of trees, potential solutions

- quick overview of random forests

- (missing data) imputation

- (case study)
