I am planning to offer several 2- or 3-day courses on the Information-
Theoretic approaches in the life sciences over the next several months.
These short courses are presented to focus on the practical application of
these new methods and are based on Kullback-Leibler information and
Akaike's Information Criteria (AIC). The material follows my 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. The course
stresses science and science philosophy as much as "statistical methods."
The focus is on the 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 very well received. The courses are both informative
and fun. For more insights into what these courses are about, see

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