BGSA R/Statistics Workshop Series Starts Monday February 6.

We are excited to announced the start of the BGSA organized R/Statistics workshop Winter series! The workshops provide an excellent opportunity for graduate students to surmount the seemingly steep R learning curve and advance their statistical skills.

The Winter series, facilitated by invited graduate students and faculty, begins Monday, February 6th 14h-16h in N4/17. It will continue weekly over ten sessions and tentatively cover the following topics:

• Programming in R
• Linear, generalized and additive mixed-effects models
• Path analysis, structural equations and causal inference (invited speaker: Bill Shipley)
• Likelihood estimation
• Bayesian statistics
• Time series analysis
• Spatial statistics
