*Master model selection and simplification in R: a two-day intensive workshop*
https://prstats.org/course/model-selection-and-model-simplification-msms06/ Are you ready to elevate your statistical modelling skills? Join PR Stats’ hands-on, two-day workshop “Model Selection and Model Simplification (MSMS06)” designed for researchers who wish to make robust, reproducible decisions when choosing and refining models. *What you will learn* - How to compare and evaluate statistical models using information criteria (AIC, AICc, BIC) and cross-validation. - Techniques for regularisation, variable selection and avoiding overfitting through model-averaging and mixed-effects model selection. - Best practices for transparent, theory-driven analysis — moving beyond “which variables give the lowest p-value” towards scientifically sound model workflows. *Why this course matters* Statistical models are only as useful as the decisions behind them. Choosing a model that fits the data perfectly but fails to generalise, or simplifying without justification, undermines credibility and research impact. This course gives you the methodological foundation and practical skills to select and simplify models with confidence. *Format & practicalities* - Duration: Two days (each day 6 hours) in a live-online format. - Fully hands-on: you will work with real datasets in R, guided step-by-step and supported with instructor resources. - Includes code scripts, demonstrations of comparative modelling workflows, and peer discussion of model strategy. *Who should attend* Researchers, postdocs, data analysts, and decision-scientists who already use R for statistical modelling and wish to advance their practice in model selection, comparison and simplification. Prior knowledge of linear models and basic R is expected, but the focus is on applied model strategy rather than mathematical theory. ------------------------------ Make smarter modelling decisions, strengthen your inference workflow, and enhance the reproducibility of your analyses.
