[R-sig-eco] Ecological datasets for teaching statistics

[Thierry Onkelinx]

Dear Manuel,

Our institute has published 54 datasets under an open data licence at GBIF (
https://www.gbif.org/dataset/search?publishing_org=1cd669d0-80ea-11de-a9d0-f1765f95f18b
)

You can look for local data on GBIF too.

Best regards,

To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more
than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say
what the experiment died of. ~ Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher
The plural of anecdote is not data. ~ Roger Brinner
The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not
ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of data.
