In our experiments we often count how many times something happened: how many mice died, how many cells got transfected, etc. Such data have non-Normal distributions and can be modelled with "generalised linear models" (GLMs), which is what this course is about. Topics: - How many mice will die of poisoning? Fitting dose-response curves with a binomial GLM (aka "logistic regression") - How many people will die of old age? Mortality rates and the Poisson GLM - The Ebola epidemic: Quasi-Poisson and negative binomial GLM - Back to the roots: Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression as a special case of GLM Date/Time: Tuesday 5th May, from 09:00 to 13:00. Mandatory pre-requisite: Good basic statistics skills. Recommended but not essential: Familiarity with least-squares regression techniques. Cost: Free of charge. How to register: First of all: If you register and then don't attend, then you take away a place from a colleague. Please plan ahead responsibly. 1) Check your calendar! 2) Ask your PI. 3) Go to the Training schedule page, click on the "Register" button for the course and fill out the little form. You will get an automatic acknowledgement by email, and an official confirmation from me later next week. Thanks, András
