New Bayesian PK/PD and "Odd-Type" Data Analysis Courses from Metrum Institute
Metrum Institute now offers two new courses for summer 2008! MI250: Introduction to Bayesian PK-PD Modeling & Simulation offers an intensive 3-day introduction to Bayesian modeling and the practical use of WinBUGS and R for PK/PD applications. MI255: Exposure-Response Modeling of Categorical, Count and Time-to-Event Data Using Bayesian and Maximum Likelihood Methods provides an introduction to modeling of "odd-type" data and the practical use of NONMEM® and WinBUGS for such applications. Both courses will be held at The Harborside Hotel in Bar Harbor, ME near Acadia National Park. Visit our training page for more information and to register.
