[R-sig-eco] Model base multivariate analysis of abundance data using R registration deadline 28th June

Mon May 28 14:00:46 CEST 2018

We still have a few places left on the course "Model base multivariate 
analysis of abundance data using R (MBMV02)" and the registration 
deadline is 28.06.18

https://www.prstatistics.com/course/model-base-multivariate-analysis-of-abundance-data-using-r-mbmv02/

This course will take place in Glasgow from the 8th - 12th July 2018.

Course Overview:
This course will provide an introduction to modern multivariate 
techniques, with a special focus on the analysis of abundance or 
presence/absence data. Multivariate analysis in ecology has been 
changing rapidly in recent years, with a focus now on formulating a 
statistical model to capture key properties of the observed data, rather 
than transformation of data using a dissimilarity-based framework. In 
recent years, model-based techniques have been developed for hypothesis 
testing, identifying indicator species, ordination, clustering, 
predictive modelling, and use of species traits as predictors to explain 
interspecific variation in environmental response.  These techniques are 
more interpretable than alternatives, have better statistical 
properties, and can be used to address new problems, such as the 
prediction of a species’ spatial distribution from its traits alone.
