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
www.prstatistics.com/course/advancing-statistical-modelling-using-r-advr07/
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}
