Advanced Stats for Ecology And Evolution In R
Event
17 - 21 June 2024
This course is designed for master, PhD students and researchers who are starting their projects and need a solid base to perform their analyses within ecology and evolution field. During this five-day course, we will cover univariate and multivariate statistical analyses (ANOVA, Linear regression), more complex models such as Generalized Linear Mixed Models, ordination techniques (e. g., PCA) and an introduction to phylogenetic comparative methods. All the analyses and techniques will be implemented in R. Knowledge on R coding is required.
PROGRAM (27 hours)
