"Advancing in Statistical Modelling using R" Delivered by Dr. Luc Bussiere and Dr. Ane Timenes Laugen
http://www.prstatistics.com/course/advancing-statistical-modelling-using-r- advr06/ This course will run from 24th - 28th April 2017 at Margam Park Discovery Centre, Wales. Course only and all inclusive packages are available. This is an introduction to model selection and simplification, generalised linear models, mixed effects models and non-linear models. The course is aimed at biologists with a basic to moderate knowledge in R. The course content is designed to bridge the gap between basic R coding and more advanced statistical modelling. This five day course will consist of series of modules, each lasting roughly half a day and comprised 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. Course content is as follows Day 1 Course introduction • Techniques for data manipulation, aggregation, and visualisation; introduction to linear regression. Packages: {tidyr}, {dplyr}, {ggplot2} Day 2 Linear models • Diagnostics, collinearity, scaling, plotting fitted values); fitting and interpreting interaction terms; model selection and simplification; general linear models and ANCOVA. • Packages: {stats}, {car} Day 3 Generalized linear models • Logistic and Poisson regression; predicting using model objects and visualizing model fits. • Packages: {broom}, {visreg}, {ggplot2} Day 4 Mixed effects models • Theory and practice of mixed effect models; visualising fixed and random effects. • Packages: {lme4}, {broom}, {ggplot2}, {sjPlot} Day 5 Fitting nonlinear functions • Polynomial & Mechanistic models; brief introduction to more advanced topics & combining methods (e.g., generalised linear mixed effects, nonlinear mixed effects, and zero-inflated and zero-altered models). • Packages: {nlsTools}. • Afternoon to discuss own data if time permits Please email any inquiries to [email protected] or visit our website www.prstatistics.com Please feel free to distribute this material anywhere you feel is suitable Our other courses 1.
