Workshop at BMSC - R Boot Camp

Sunday, March 4 – Thursday, March 8, 2012
Come for PEEC, stay for the workshop!

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: February 15, 2012

Instructor: Dr. Jean Richardson & Dr. Brad Anholt, University of Victoria, BMSC

This workshop is targeted at students and professionals (including upper-level undergraduates, post-docs and faculty) attending thePacific Ecology and Evolution Conference; however those not attending PEEC are also welcome to attend.

Workshop Description:
The statistical language R is open-source software, freely available and computer platform independent. R is well supported by an extensive community and is powerful enough to thoroughly analyze even the most complicated experimental design. As such, a foundation in the use of R will provide a researcher with the wherewithal for all future data analysis needs. This R Boot Camp will be 4 days of hands-on work with R, providing participants with both the basics of using R (data manipulation, graphing, standard statistics) and the know-how to tap into the extensive resources available so they are empowered for future analysis needs. A basic background in biostatistics will be assumed. Participants are welcome to bring data analysis problems with them that they wish to tackle during the workshop.

Pricing:
University Participants = $400
Non-university Participants = $800

Minimum of six participants required for course to run. University faculty and staff are considered to be university participants.

Meals included: Sunday dinner; all meals on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday; Thursday breakfast and a bagged lunch for the road. Accommodation includes four nights (Sunday to Wednesday night inclusive).
