Past events
Linear mixed models course 2025
On 16 and 18 June, the FBD faculty, BIOMINA and StatUa organised a course on Linear Mixed Models, aimed at researchers in the life sciences. These models are ideal for analysing non-independent data, such as repeated measurements or clustered data. The course combines theoretical explanation with practical exercises and applications to biomedical and genomic datasets. We provided an introduction to Multiple Linear Regression as a stepping stone towards understanding mixed models to an eager and participative audience of researchers.
