I plan to offer several 2-day workshops on model
selection and multimodel inference this coming
April and May. My 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 registeration
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
hypohteses.
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 see,

Some detailed information on hosting a course is
given at,

If you are interested in hosting a course in the
spring of 2011 at your location, please contact me.
Thank you.
