[R-sig-eco] Teaching materials

[Volker Bahn]

Here is a compilation of the answers I received to my question about 
teaching materials for a biostats course based on R. I also added 
resources I found searching the web:

Ron Burns sent links to Jack Weiss’ courses at University of North 
Carolina, Chapel Hill
http://www.unc.edu/courses/2007spring/enst/562/001/docs/lectures.htm
http://www.unc.edu/courses/2008fall/ecol/563/001/docs/lectures.htm
http://www.unc.edu/courses/2006spring/ecol/145/001/docs/lectures.htm

Richie Erickson pointed me to Stephen Cox’s course: Statistical 
Applications in Environmental Toxicology
http://www.tiehh.ttu.edu/scox/Site/Stats.html

David Roberts pointed me to his own material at
http://ecology.msu.montana.edu/labdsv/R/

Alain Zuur pointed me to datasets that accompany his books at
http://www.highstat.com/books.htm
These are all real data sets (coming from PhD projects of commercial 
projects). They are fully worked out in the case study chapters of:
Analysing Ecological Data (2007).
Zuur, AF, Ieno, EN and Smith, GM. Springer. 680 p.
URL: www.springer.com/0-387-45967-7
Mixed effects models and extensions in ecology with R. (2009).
Zuur, AF, Ieno, EN, Walker, N, Saveliev, AA, and Smith, GM. Springer.
http://www.springer.com/life+sci/ecology/book/978-0-387-87457-9

Dave Roberts pointed me to his lab pages:
http://ecology.msu.montana.edu/labdsv/R
“It's primarily for multivariate analysis in community ecology, bit does
also have some stuff on GLMs and GAMS in an ecological context.”

When time permits, Glen Sargeant teaches workshops on the use of R for 
ecological data analysis. Folks who would like to schedule or attend a 
workshop are welcome to contact him (gsargeant at usgs.gov).

David G. Rossiter has some notes on statistical methods in R up on the web:
