Dear colleague,
We have three days left of the application period for the March 2014 Hierarchical Modeling workshop in Porto Alegre, Brazil. The initiative is meant to provide an update on the construction of hierarchical linear models in the Bayesian context - very useful for people working with site-occupancy and demographic problems with imperfect observation. Would you be so kind to help us with a final round of advertisement for the initiative? Please see detailed information in the link:

We presently do not have confirmed grants to cover airfare and registration fees for non-Brazilian graduate students, but we are doing our best to obtain support for at least two students. So please, encourage any interested students to apply regardless of financial considerations. The application is free.
Thank you for your attention.
