Statistical toolkit for ecologists (STKE01) https://www.prstatistics.com/course/statistical-toolkit-for-ecologists-stke01/
This course will be delivered by Dr Aris Mustakas from the 21st - 24th May 2019 take at Myuna Bay Sport and recreation center, Australia. (It is preceded by the course 'Introduction to statistics and R for everyone (IRFE02) and a discount is available for booking both. https://www.prstatistics.com/course/introduction-to-statistics-and-r-for-anyone-irfe02/ Course Overview: This course will cover advanced statistics regarding the analysis of data using comprehensive and state-of-the-art techniques. All methods will be illustrated using the free, open-source software package R. The course is designed for attendees that have a basic knowledge of R and elementary statistics and wish to advance this to up-to-date journal publication or conference proceedings standards. The course will cover mixed effects models, model selection and multi-model inference, generalized linear models (i.e. analysis of non-normally distributed datasets), random and fixed effects, variance nesting and spatial as well as temporal elements of data analytics. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the models being fitted, and be able interpret the results appropriately as well as produce quality graphs. Participants are encouraged to bring their own data sets for applying the techniques taught as well as potential discussion with the course tutor. Course Programme Tuesday 21st – Classes from 09:00 to 17:00 Theory: Introduction, example data sets and challenges in their analyses Revision: likelihood and inference Revision: linear regression, GLMs Practical: Analysing some example data sets Fitting generalized linear models in real normally-distributed datasets Checking model assumptions and residuals Wednesday 22nd – Classes from 09:00 to 17:00 Theory: Generalizing the regression for many dependent variables Model selection and multi-model inference What is a fixed and what a random effect? Plotting effects Practical: A full normally distributed data analysis, model fitting, ANOVA, residuals, plotting effects reporting results Fitting mixed effects models with fixed and random effects Nesting variances in random effects Thursday 23rd – Classes from 09:00 to 17:00 Theory: Dealing with non-normally distributed data Identifying the distribution of the data Generalizing the linear model for non-normally distributed data Plotting quality graphs Practical : Identifying the distribution of the data through AIC model selection Fitting the best model residual error structure in a generalised linear model Understanding, reporting, plotting, and discussing results Friday 24th – Classes from 09:00 to 16:00 Theory: Dealing with spatial & temporal data Advantages of including spatial information Problems induced by spatial or temporal autocorrelation Practical: Plotting spatial data Spatial analysis Accounting for spatial or temporal autocorrelation Email oliverhoo...@prstatistics.com Check out our sister sites, www.PRstatistics.com (Ecology and Life Sciences) www.PRinformatics.com (Bioinformatics and data science) www.PSstatistics.com (Behaviour and cognition) 1.
