Structural equations modeling (SEM) and path analysis is a statistical method of testing multivariate hypotheses of cause-and-effect that is becoming increasingly important in ecology and evolution. I will be offering an intensive course on this topic in English from May 6-10 2019, designed specifically for international students in ecology and evolution based on my book (reference below). Everyone who has basic training in statistics (inferential tests, linear models) and a basic knowledge of the R statistical language is welcome. Full details about the course can be found at http://www.billshipley.recherche.usherbrooke.ca/summer%20school%20path%20analysis.htm.
Please contact me (bill.ship...@usherbrooke.ca<mailto:bill.ship...@usherbrooke.ca>) if you are interested or require more information than is given on the web page.
