Presentation:

Thomas Yee, Senior Lecturer at Auckland University, is currently Visiting
Scientist at the University of Cagliari in the framework of the Visiting
Scientist Program supported by the Regione Autonoma della Sardegna. He will
present a 3-day workshop intended as an applied course on regression
modelling, aimed towards young researchers, PhD students and postgraduate
students in statistics. The material is selected from the book "Vector
Generalized Linear and Additive Models: With an Implementation in R²
recently published by Springer, and involves class lectures and computer
tutorial labs‹for a total of 12 hours (4 hours per day). A few topics will
be dealt with more theoretically, however most of the course is aimed to be
practical. The morning sessions will involve presentation of the Œtheory¹
side and problem solving through the analysis of data sets.

Afternoon sessions might be organized on request to discuss about
theoretical issues presented in morning sessions and/or analyze real
problems via the VGAM R package.



Topics Covered:

1st day: Revision and Introduction to Vector Generalized Linear Models
(VGLMs)

2nd day: Reduced Rank-VGLMs, and Applications to Count Regression

3rd day: Further topics and Applications (Varying Coefficient Models,
Categorical Regression Models, Extremes,Univariate and Distributions)



Registration: 

The participation to the workshop is free (no registration fee).

For organizational reasons interested students should confirm their
participation by email to conversa a unica.it (subject: VGLM workshop).
