[ADMB Users] ADMB course in Copenhagen 16-20 June

[Arni Magnusson]

Hi ADMB users,

A five-day ADMB course is offered 16-20 June, at the ICES Headquarters 
downtown in sunny Copenhagen:

This is the third time Anders Nielsen and I teach this 5-day course and 
participants have said they learned a lot. Five days seems to be the right 
amount of time to reach the level required to independently use ADMB to 
build models for ongoing research projects.

The syllabus is slightly fish-oriented, but the modelling techniques are 
general, going through simple regression (LM, NLME), random effects (LME, 
NLME, state-space), Bayesian inference, and uncertainty methods (delta 
method, profile likelihood, MCMC).

The course fee is 750 Euros (for participants from ICES countries) and the 
application deadline is 5 May. The registration button is on the ICES 
webpage listed above.

Please circulate to colleagues, and sorry about the short notice.
