Any interest in face-to-face training on the methods library?

Hi all, @msuchard and I were wondering what the level of interest is for a training course on the methods library, in particular on the CohortMethod package. Our current idea is that the course would take place in a ‘class room’ setting (so not online), where people get to play with real data and try things for themselves. In the end students should be able to perform studies using CohortMethod (and other methods) themselves, and understand the theory behind how it all works.

For those who are not entirely familiar with the methods library, you can read some background info in our Wiki.

Reply if you think this is something you would attend.

Yes, @schuemie and @msuchard. I’ll drum up students. I also offered to Marc to use IMS data in the class.

We’d have some interest in Colorado via a virtual classroom, not in-person (which is I think what is being suggested).

obviously I didn’t read the thread title - maybe it can be F2F with some attendance remotely.

Yes. I would be interested. -Rich

I would also be interested. But F2F mode is difficult due to my travel budget. So only if it is virtual. I think virtual rooms are getting very good these days.

Where would such an in-person meeting be held?

(yes, I’m new around here.)

+1 - I would be interested subject to location and dates.

Thanks everyone! There certainly seems to be enough interest, now we need to see if we can make it happen!
