PR statistics has a great course coming up aimed at evolutionary 
biologists and ecologists with basic stats knowledge and R experience.

"Advancing in statistical modelling for evolutionary biologists and 
ecologists using R"

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.

Delivered by Dr. Luc Bussiere and Dr. Tom Houslay

This course will run from 4th – 8th December 2017 at Margam Discovery 
Centre, Wales

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).
Packages: {nlsTools}
