I am planning to offer several 2-day courses on the Information-Theoretic
approaches to statistical inference over the coming 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 approximately 60 such
courses around the world 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

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