Advanced Stats for Ecology And Evolution In R

From 17 Jun 2024 until 21 Jun 2024 - BIOPOLIS-CIBIO, Vairão, Portugal (Face-to-face)
Advanced Stats for Ecology And Evolution In R
This course is designed for master, PhD students and researchers who are starting their projects and need a solid base to perform their analyses within ecology and evolution field. During this five-day course, we will cover univariate and multivariate statistical analyses (ANOVA, Linear regression), more complex models such as Generalized Linear Mixed Models, ordination techniques (e. g., PCA) and an introduction to phylogenetic comparative methods. All the analyses and techniques will be implemented in R. Knowledge on R coding is required.
