<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sickkids.ca/AboutSickKids/Directory/People/P/Petros-Pechlivanoglou-staff-profile.html" target="_blank">Petros</a> and his colleagues at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://darthworkgroup.com/" target="_blank">DARTH</a> have organised a workshop on Decision Modeling in <tt>R</tt>, in Toronto (Canada) — the exact dates are 5-7 December 2018.</p>
<p>Here’s Petros’ original advert</p>
<blockquote>
<p>We are excited to announce that the Decision Analysis in R for Technologies in Health (DARTH) workgroup, in collaboration with the Hospital for Sick Children and partnering institutions, will be giving a 3-day workshop on <strong>Decision modeling using <tt>R</tt></strong> in Toronto, Canada!</p>
<p><strong>When</strong>: Wednesday December 5th to Friday December 7th, 2018</p>
<p><strong>Location</strong>: The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada</p>
<p><em>Please note that you may register to attend in-person or by webinar</em></p>
<p>For novice <tt>R</tt> users, a 1-day ‘Introduction to <tt>R</tt>’ course will be offered on Tuesday December 4th, 2018.</p>
<p>For more information and registration details, please visit: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://darthworkgroup.com/workshops/" target="_blank">http://darthworkgroup.com/workshops/</a> or visit: the Workshop’s website.</p>

<p>I went to give an intense lecture on <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.statistica.it/gianluca/post/2016-02-15-theta-rounds/" target="_blank">BCEA and then a seminar on our work on EVPPI</a> a couple of years back — and I did have a lot of fun, despite the very cold weather (but then it was in February, so possibly much worse than this time around).</p>
<p>More importantly, I think the guys at DARTH are doing a very nice and complementary work on pushing people around so that they use <tt>R</tt> as much as possible in economic evaluation and so I think events like this are absolutely great!</p>
