Dear colleagues, Transmitting Science is offering a new course that can be of your interest: “Introduction to generalized linear modeling and mixed models using R”
Instructor: Dan Warren (Senckenberg Biodiversity and Climate Research Center, Germany) Dates: November 26th-30th, 2018 Place: Crete, (Greece). This course will teach the basics of the R statistical programming language as well as providing an accessible introduction to generalized linear models and mixed models. We will cover the basic R skills necessary to conduct most of the common analyses in the sciences, and then will focus on giving students a working understanding of ANOVA, Generalized Linear Models (GLM), and Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GLMM). The course is intended to give students a conceptual understanding of these methods, not just a set of recipes to follow. By the end of this course, students will understand: * How to read and write data from R. * How to manipulate their data for analysis. * How to design workflows for efficient and reproducible scientific computing. * How to make attractive and informative color graphics from R. * The importance of likelihood in statistics. * How regression works and what it means. * How to choose the appropriate link function and why it’s important. * How to model fixed vs. random effects. The course is intended primarily for users who have no experience in R, or those who have performed a few basic functions but wish to develop their skills.
