The Laboratory for Systems, Instrumentation and Modeling in Science and Technology for Space and the Environment (SIM), is a research center established in 2003, associated with the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon (FCUL) and funded by "Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia" thought its "Programa de Financiamento Plurianual".
The SIM laboratory has two research groups (ICSEO and CCIAM) that includes researchers from the University of Lisbon and the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP) that provide the facilities, infrastructure and technical collaboration to accomplish our research goals.
Introduction to linear mixed effects models and GLMM in R
From Monday 11th of February 2013 to Friday 15th of February 2013
Where:Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon
From February 11th to the 15th of 2013 S.I.M. will host and co-organize the mixed modeling course in the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon given by the team from Highland Statistics
COURSE CONTENT:
• Day 1: Dealing with heterogeneity in linear regression models (GLS).
• Days 2 & 3: Linear mixed effects models for nested data (random intercept model, random intercept and slope model, lme versus lmer, p-values, REML).
• Day 4: Adding more complicated correlation structures (spatial or temporal) to linear regression and mixed effects models.
• Day 5: GLMM with Poisson and binomial distributions. Dealing with overdispersion.
It will cover the chapters 4 to8 of Mixed effects models and extensions in ecology with R. (2009). Zuur, AF, Ieno, EN, Walker, N, Saveliev, AA, and Smith, GM. Springer.
