[R-sig-Epi] STATS COURSE Time series models for ecologists

[Oliver Hooker]

Time series models for ecologists (TSME02)

https://www.prstatistics.com/course/time-series-models-for-ecologists-tsme02/

This course will be delivered by Dr. Andrew Parnell from the 1st - 5th 
October 2018 in Glasgow.

Course Overview:
This course will cover time series analysis with a particular focus on 
applications in ecology. All methods will be illustrated using the free, 
open-source software package R. Time Series data are ubiquitous in the 
physical sciences, and models for their behaviour enable scientists to 
understand temporal dynamics and predict future values. Participants 
will be taught a wide range of suitable time series models for both 
discrete and continuous time systems. The course will cover a range of 
techniques from simple exponential smoothing and ARIMA modelling 
approaches up to complex Bayesian models. Participants will gain a 
deeper understanding of the models being fitted, and be able interpret 
the results appropriately. Participants are encouraged to bring their 
own data sets for discussion with the course tutors.
