Dear colleague,
New edition of the course "Introduction to Ecological Data Analysis -
2nd Edition", October 3rd-7th, 2016.
Instructor: Dr. Øyvind Hammer (University of Oslo, Norway).
This course is aimed at postgraduate students, postdoctoral researchers
and established academics.
In this course we will cover the most important subjects in univariate
and multivariate statistics from a very practical perspective, with real
data sets and realistic problem solving. We will give a practical
introduction to multivariate community analysis, spatial and time series
analysis as applied to ecological, environmental and geological data.
Participants will learn to address questions such as geographical
distribution of communities, interactions between communities and their
physical environment, ecological change through time in response to
sudden or gradual environmental change (pollution, climate), and
patterns of diversity.
We will use the free and friendly Past
[http://folk.uio.no/ohammer/past/] software (written by the lecturer),
but the methods are equally relevant for users of other programs.
