I am planning to offer several 2-day courses on the Information-Theoretic
approaches to statistical inference over the coming spring/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 45-50 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,

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