The non-profit R Institute is augmenting their statistical software / research methods course offerings using freely available R and PLS software over the 2011-2012 academic year. We are offering a 2-for-1 advance registration opportunity, between now and August 13, to reserve a spot in any two of our online courses during the 2011-2012 academic year.
Courses are offered continuously, on a rotating basis. Courses follow a five week format (first 2 hour class is a 'pre-session' and four remaining 3 hour classes are on same time and day for four more weeks). Courses are taught in a live, interactive, synchronous online format offered in both the AM and PM to accommodate different geographic locations. All courses are recorded and the recordings are provided to the course participants.
Currently, we offer the following existing courses on a regular basis:
1) PLS path modeling using R
2) PLS path modeling using SmartPLS and WarpPLS (non-linear)
3) Fundamentals of Using R
4) Using R for Statistical Research Analyses I
5) Using R for Statistical Research Analyses II
We are also adding the following new courses in the Fall and Spring:
1) Data Manipulation With R
2) Generalized Linear Models (GLM) and Generalized Additive Models (GAM) using R
3) Linear Mixed Models (lme4 package) Using R
4) Introduction to Programming and Simulation Using R
5) Others
We are offering a 2-for-1 advance registration opportunity, between now and August 13, to reserve a spot in any two of the above online courses. There are a limited number of 'slots' for this offer and it may be withdrawn at any time. This offer cannot be combined with any other discounts and does not include any courses for which you might have already registered. The student cost is $225 USD; the faculty cost is $295; and the practitioner cost is $325. This advance registration offer guarantees you a place in any two courses of your choosing through June of 2012. R-Institute personnel will manage the list of registrants to ensure that everyone gets any classes that they want.
