Quantitative methods in ecology and evolution
It is empowering to know how to analyze your own data
—Don Ludwig (2009), Emeritus Prof. and former S+ instructor
Biology 501 is a graduate course on quantitative methods for data analysis in ecology and evolution. The format is a mixture of lectures/discussions on methodological topics and practical workshops using the R package. Students are assumed to have taken an introductory undergraduate statistics course at some point in their careers. We will begin at a fairly basic level using a general linear model approach.
