Basic workshop on mixed effect models in R?

[mattjbayly]

Hi all,

I was working with mixed effect models for continuous, binary and count data quite extensively for some demographic models last spring. I was considering running a 1-hour workshop on “dead simple mixed effect models in R” where we would explore basic packages, model objects, defining random effect structures, generating confidence intervals and making predictions onto new data. Just wanted to know what you folks think… interesting/relevant?

Yes please!!!

This area would be something I would be very interested to hear more about!

Thanks MiniScienceGirl for Tuesdays session at BCCA! On 10 Sep 2015 11:05, "Matthew Bayly" [email protected] wrote:

Totally. I could contribute a follow-up session too...

I think many people would appreciate this! I could help out if necessary.

Yes, Very interesting!

Any chance of this one being a google hangouts? I'm super interested, but currently on the wrong coast!

Awesome stuff @mattjbayly and @rozdakin! Currently October is wide open. What days work for you guys?

@remi-daigle: I am still working out some kinks with google hangouts and am looking into other options. I will get this sorted soon so we can broadcast more sessions!

Hi @mattjbayly: we are planning our fall session. Any chance you will be interested in running this tutorial on mixed effect model? Looks like many people are interested in this topic!
