LISA SHORT COURSES IN STATISTICS
LISA (Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Statistical Analysis) is providing a series of evening short courses to help graduate students use statistics in their research. The focus of these two-hour courses is on teaching practical statistical techniques for analyzing or collecting data. See www.lisa.stat.vt.edu/?q=short_courses for instructions on how to REGISTER and to learn more. Refreshments will be provided at the end of each short course! All courses will be held in Fralin Auditorium from 4-6PM.

Summer 2010 Schedule:
Tuesday, July 13: T-test, ANOVA, and ANCOVA;
Wednesday, July 21: Regression Using Bayesian Statistics in R;
Tuesday, July 27: Linear and Non-linear Mixed Effects Models;

Tuesday, July 27;
Instructor: Ciro Velasco-Cruz;
Title: Linear and Non-linear Mixed Effects Models;
Course Information: Many times researchers have the following scenario: measurements are taken on experimental units (i.e. subjects) at given time intervals.
Most of the time subjects are set on different conditions (treatments) and the measurements (response) are expected to change due to the effect of these conditions. Two concepts are important when such experiments are run, that sometimes are used indistinguishable:
Longitudinal and Repeated measurements.

In this short course we are going to present some of the analysis techniques when either situation is present. We will also highlight the differences between those two concepts.

LISA also provides free statistical collaboration and consulting: visit www.lisa.stat.vt.edu to schedule an appointment.
Free daily Walk-in Consulting Service is available from 12-2pm in 401 Hutcheson Hall. See www.lisa.stat.vt.edu/?q=walk_in for more details.
