Surveillance doesn't pause 4 barriers. We move, adapt and conquer b'coz every delay risks lives #mosquitoes

We had an insightful Day 1 of our Hands-on Training on Ecological Data Analysis Using GLMMs in R for Malaria Control. We covered an introduction to statistics, data visualization, and general linear models in R. Tomorrow, we continue with generalized linear models.🙏 Applied Malaria Modelling network (AMMnet)

Day 2 Highlights Hands-on modeling of ecological data using non-Gaussian distributions — focusing on generalised linear models - (binomial & Poisson): Covered model fitting, selection (AIC, drop1(), LRT), and diagnosis & addressing overdispersion. Then predictions #GLMM #RStats

Final Day: An insightful talk by Dr. Halfan Ngowo on why random effects matter in ecological data analysis using GLMMs. 🦟 We wrapped up with a practical session and certificate awards to participants and facilitators. Big thanks to Applied Malaria Modelling network (AMMnet) for funding. #DataScience #malaria

Please join me in wishing ⁦Prof. Mohamed Janabi⁩ the very best in tomorrow’s election
