Advancing in statistical modelling for evolutionary biologists and ecologists using R (ADVR08)
https://www.prstatistics.com/course/advancing-statistical-modelling-using-r-advr08/
This course will be delivered by Dr. Luc Bussiere from the 21st - 25th January 2019 in Glasgow City Centre
Course Overview:
This course will provide an introduction to working with real-life data typical of those encountered in the field of evolutionary biology and ecology. The course will be delivered by Dr. Luc Bussiere, Dr. Tom Houslay and Dr. Ane Timenes Laugen who are all practicing academics in the field of evolutionary biology. This five day course will consist of series of modules (each lasting roughly half a day) covering model selection and simplification, generalised linear models, mixed effects models, and non-linear models. Along the way you will gain in depth experience in data ‘wrangling’, data and model visualisation and plotting, as well as exploring and understanding model diagnostics. Classes will comprises of a mixture of lectures and practicals designed to either build required skills for future modules or to perform a family of analyses that is frequently encountered in the biological literature.
