Workshop
Venue: 
CES Lotka Volterra
Abstract:

These workshops are intended to serve as an introduction/refresher to commonly used advanced statistical models. The workshops will consist of lectures on how the different statistical models work, accompanied by hands-on sessions in R, where we apply these models to ecological data-sets and become familiar with fitting and interpreting them.
The detailed schedule for the workshops is available here:

28th Jan (Tuesday): 10am - 1pm: Linear mixed-effects models - Prof. Nagaraja

29th Jan (Wednesday): 10am - 1pm: R Session: Applying LMMs to ecological data sets - Kavita

30th Jan (Thursday): 10am - 1pm: 11th Jan 10am - 1pm: Generalised Linear Mixed-effects Models GLMMs - Prof. Nagaraja

31st Jan (Friday): 10 am - 1pm: R Session: Applying GLMMs to ecological data sets - Kavita

*Attendance only with Registration.
**Pre-requisites: Since these workshops focus on advanced statistical models, familiarity with basic statistics (statistical hypothesis testing, one and two-sample problems, simple linear regression, one-way ANOVA) and basic math and probability (functions, distributions) is expected. Since we will be working in R/RStudio, some familiarity with R & R-studio is also expected.
