Highland Statistics Ltd. provides statistics courses at various places in Europe, 

South-America, Mexico, Africa and Canada.

These courses are especially designed for biological and environmental scientists. 

The aim of the course is to give the participants sufficient statistical knowledge 

to apply the appropriate statistical techniques to their data, and give an 

interpretation of the results. The course provides:



1. a revision of basic statistics,

2. a working knowledge of techniques which are commonly used in biology,

3. an introduction to recently developed methods,

4. a discussion of practical problems and solutions which cannot be found in 

standard statistical textbooks, and

5. hands-on experience through application of the techniques on biological data 

sets, using statistical software on a computer.



This course contains four modules, namely (i) data exploration, (ii) multivariate 

analysis, (iii) time series analysis and (iv) case studies. The second module 

consists of multivariate analysis methods. We discuss various techniques (e.g. CCA, 

RDA, db-RDA), and explain when to apply which multivariate technique. In the third 

module, various time series methods are used, e.g. common trend analysis and sudden 

changes. In the fourth module, course attendants will apply all methods on case 

studies and/or their own data sets. The first three modules also contain various 

computer exercises.
