I am planning to offer several 2-day courses on the Information-Theoretic approaches in the life sciences during November and early December. These courses are presented to 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 book,
Anderson, D. R. (2008). Model based inference in the life Sciences: a primer on evidence. Springer, New York, NY. 180pp. A copy of this book is included in the registration fee. The new text stresses science and science philosophy as much as "statistical methods." The focus is on the quantification and qualification of formal evidence. These short courses can be hosted, organized, and delivered at your university, agency, institute, or training center. I have given 45-50 such courses and they have been very well received. The courses are both informative and fun. For more insights into what these courses are about, see http://aicanderson2.home.comcast.net If you are interested in hosting a course at your location, please contact me. David R.
