Dear all,
Join us February 10-13, 2025, for the online Multivariate Data Analysis with R
and vegan course.
Course website: [ https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/vegan/ ](
https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/vegan/ )
Overview: This course will offer participants a practical introduction to some
of the most useful functions available within vegan. We will focus on the use
of ordination methods and on the use of restricted permutations to test a range
of experimental designs.We will focus on when and how to use multivariate
methods including unconstrained and constrained ordination (CCA, RDA,
Constrained PCoA), as well as between-group tests such as PERMANOVA. We will
cover concepts such as design- and model-based permutations and the
exchangeability of samples in tests. We will also discuss the use of vegan to
go beyond simply fitting a constrained ordination model, to diagnostics,
plotting, etc.
Who Should Attend? This course is suitable for PhD students (including senior
thesis-based masters students) and researchers working with multivariate data
sets in biology (inter alia ecology, animal science agriculture, microbial
ecology/microbiology), with limited statistical knowledge but a willingness to
learn more.Participants should be familiar with RStudio and have some fluency
in programming R code, including being able to import, manipulate (e.g. modify
variables) and visualise data. There will be a mix of lectures, and hands-on
practical exercises throughout the course.
Program Overview
Monday: Intro to multivariate data, transformations, dissimilarity metrics
Tuesday: Unconstrained ordination (PCA, PCoA, NMDS)
Wednesday: Constrained ordination, PERMANOVA
Thursday: Statistical inference with permutation tests
