FREE - Introduction to Generalised Linear Models for Ecologists (FGLM01)
https://www.prstats.org/course/free-introduction-to-generalised-linear-models-for-ecologists-fglm01/
*Free, one-day live online course — 12 August 2025*
Offered by PR Statistics, primarily for ecologists and related researchers
Course Overview
This 4-hour online workshop provides an accessible and practical
introduction to Generalised Linear Models (GLMs) using R. It covers core
statistical concepts and model fitting for binary and count data, including
logistic regression, Poisson and negative binomial models, and link
functions. Participants will gain hands-on experience fitting GLMs in R
during the session.
------------------------------
Topics Covered
-
Key theoretical foundations of GLMs
-
Selecting suitable error distributions and link functions
-
Fitting and interpreting binary logistic regression and Poisson GLMs in R
-
Practical workflows for model selection, diagnostics, and interpretation
-
Application of GLMs to ecological research questions
------------------------------
Technical Requirements
-
Installation of R and RStudio prior to the session (free and compatible
with Windows, macOS, and Linux)
-
Webcam recommended to support engagement during interactive components
-
Multi-monitor setup optional but helpful for simultaneous viewing of
materials and R environment
------------------------------
Intended Audience
This course is designed for ecologists, postgraduate researchers,
early-career data analysts, and anyone familiar with basic R usage (e.g.
importing data, simple statistics). No prior knowledge of GLMs required;
the workshop serves as a foundational introduction to statistical modelling
for non-normal datasets.
Cost & Registration
