[R] Course 'Bootstrap methods and permutation tests' - 23 - 24 October

[Karen Richardson]

Insightful are pleased to announce we are now taking bookings for our latest course on "Bootstrap methods and permutation tests" in the UK on 23rd - 24th October. 

This course will focus in particular on two resampling methods, bootstrapping and permutation tests, which have been applied successfully to areas of statistical modelling where "traditional" standard errors, confidence intervals and significance tests are unavailable or of doubtful accuracy.  Interest in these methods has risen dramatically over the past 10 years. 

The tutor for the course is Dr. Tim Hesterberg, of Insightful's R & D division in Seattle.  Tim is primary author of the "S+Resample" package for bootstrapping, permutation tests, jackknife, and other resampling procedures, and is lead author of "Bootstrap Methods and Permutation Tests" (2003), W. H. Freeman, and numerous technical articles on resampling.  See www.insightful.com/Hesterberg/

This course will be suitable for any statistician faced with inferential problems where the use of standard results may be questionable or not available.
