Two workshops on Statistical Modelling:

Introduction to Statistical Modelling and Spatial Modelling Methods for Correlated Data

Centre for Research into Ecological and Environmental Modelling
15 – 22^nd January 2015, University of St. Andrews

The Centre for Research into Ecological and Environmental Modelling (CREEM) at the University of St. Andrews will be running two ‘Statistical Modelling’ workshops to introduce both basic and more advanced techniques.

 

Introduction to Statistical Modelling (2 days)

This workshop will take place 15^th - 16^th January 2015 and will cover Linear Models and Generalised Linear Models to help participants analyse continuous, presence/absence and count data.

 

Spatial Modelling Methods for Correlated Data (4 days)

This workshop will take place 19^th – 22^nd January 2015 and cover one dimensional and two dimensional smoothing using both more traditional and recently developed methods.  The correlated aspect of the data is addressed using Generalised Estimating Equations (GEEs). 

 

Both courses will be heavily data (and practical) based and presented using large scale offshore wind farm data.  The R software package will be used for the workshop-based practical’s.  Computer sessions take place in our computer classroom (attached to the seminar room) and participants can either use our computers or bring their own laptops.
