PR statistics has a great course coming up aimed at evolutionary biologists with basic stats knowledge and R experience. The course will use examples from ecology and evolutionary biology throughout and is therefor likely to be of interest to members of this group. This course is designed to give attendees a strong foundation in basic stats and R so they can then go one an advance independently after the course - full details below.
"Advancing in statistical modelling for evolutionary biologists and ecologists using R" Delivered by Dr. Luc Bussiere and Dr. Tom Houslay *www.prstatistics.com/course/advancing-statistical-modelling-using-r-advr07/* <http://www.prstatistics.com/course/advancing-statistical-modelling-using-r-advr07/> This course will run from 4th – 8th December 2017 at Margam Discovery Centre, Wales 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 Monday 4th – Classes from 09:00 to 17:00 Course introduction; techniques for data manipulation, aggregation, and visualisation; introduction to linear regression. Packages: {tidyr}, {dplyr}, {ggplot2} Tuesday 5th – Classes from 09:00 to 17:00 Linear models (diagnostics, collinearity, scaling, plotting fitted values); fitting and interpreting interaction terms; model selection and simplication; general linear models and ANCOVA. Packages: {stats}, {car} Wednesday 6th – Classes from 09:00 to 17:00 Generalized linear models (logistic and Poisson regression); predicting using model objects and visualizing model fits. Packages: {broom}, {visreg}, {ggplot2} Thursday 7th – Classes from 09:00 to 17:00 Mixed effects models in theory and practice; visualising fixed and random effects. Packages: {lme4}, {broom}, {ggplot2}, {sjPlot} Friday 8th – Classes from 09:00 to 16:00 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).
