R help - Sep 2003 - Course 'Bootstrap methods and permutation tests' - 23 - 24 October

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.
