The annual DECIDE WP2 workshop on state space models for animal health surveillance took place from 23–27 September 2024 at the University of Copenhagen, concentrating on “Dynamic Generalised Linear Models (non-Gaussian)”. Led by Prof. Dr. Anders Ringgaard Kristensen and his team, the workshop hosted 11 participants representing seven DECIDE project partner organisations.
DECIDE WP2 workshops are designed to support project partners in applying state space models to their work. Each workshop spans five days and combines morning lectures and exercises with supervised, practical modelling sessions in the afternoons. Participants bring their own data to integrate workshop techniques directly into their projects.
Each year, the workshop introduces dynamic linear models and explores a specific theme:
- 2022: Gaussian state space models (dynamic linear models)
- 2023: Multi-level models
- 2024: Dynamic generalised linear models (non-Gaussian)
This series aims to enhance technical skills relevant to animal health surveillance within the DECIDE project. More information about this workshop can be found here.
