Workshop Description (Advanced Course)

Through this seminar, attendees will know when and how to use regression models for different data analysis tasks. Regression models are powerful tools for solving various problems in scientific analysis, and can be easily applied using R packages. Attendees will also learn some widely misused statistical models and how to avoid these misuses. The course require basic knowledge of statistics and R. There will be homework assignments each night to solidify the concepts from class. These are short and optional.
