[Oliver Hooker]

"Advancing in Statistical Modelling using R"

Delivered by Dr. Luc Bussiere and Dr. Tom Houslay

http://www.prstatistics.com/course/advancing-statistical-modelling-using-r-advr05/

This course will run from 5th – 9th December 2016 at Juniper Hall 
Field Station, Dorking, Surrey, just south of London, England

This is an introduction to model selection and simplification, 
generalised linear models, mixed effects models and non-linear models.

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
Day 1 Course introduction
•	Techniques for data manipulation, aggregation, and visualisation; 
introduction to linear regression. Packages: {tidyr}, {dplyr}, {ggplot2}
Day 2 Linear models
•	Diagnostics, collinearity, scaling, plotting fitted values); fitting 
and interpreting interaction terms; model selection and simplification; 
general linear models and ANCOVA.
•	Packages: {stats}, {car}
Day 3 Generalized linear models
•	Logistic and Poisson regression; predicting using model objects and 
visualizing model fits.
•	Packages: {broom}, {visreg}, {ggplot2}
Day 4 Mixed effects models
•	Theory and practice of mixed effect models; visualising fixed and 
random effects.
•	Packages: {lme4}, {broom}, {ggplot2}, {sjPlot}
Day 5 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).
•	Packages: {nlsTools}.
•	Afternoon to discuss own data if time permits
