Introduction to R for biologists (IRFB02) https://www.prstatistics.com/course/introduction-to-statistics-and-r-for- biologists-irfb02/
This course will be delivered by Dr. Olivier Gauthier in Glasgow city centre form the 29th October - 1st November 2018. Course overview: The course will consist of a series of 8 modules each lasting roughly half a day, and designed to build required skills for subsequent modules and more advanced courses. At its conclusion, participants will have acquired basic skills in coding with R, and will be able to perform and interpret various analyses commonly seen in biology, ecology and evolutionary biology as well as be able to critically evaluate similar analyses from the scientific literature and technical reports.
