Statistics for Environmental Evaluation:Quantifying the environment.
Monday August 25 to Friday August 29, 2008
Location: University of Glasgow, Glasgow
This one-week course provides practically motivated training in key statistical analysis and modelling skills for environmental scientists. The course is based on earlier successful courses run in 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. Sponsorship is available for NERC funded PhD students and post-doctoral researchers.
Key elements of the course include:
a) A series of lectures given by experts in the topic;
b) hands-on practical sessions using R;
c) discussion/problem solving sessions;
d) case studies and illustrations drawn from topical environmental issues.
The course focuses on key statistical methods, which are fundamental to Environmental Science and include sampling and monitoring (design and analysis), spatial methods, trend detection, exploring relationships (regression methods and advanced regression), multivariate methods and time series. A refresher session on some fundamental statistical tools will be used provide an introduction to R (the software used throughout). Each topic is introduced in a general way and then followed with practical work.
