Melanie Colón Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Species distribution models using R (SDMR01)This course will run from the 12th - 15th June 2018 at Myuna Bay inAustralia and is being delivered by Prof. Jane Elith and Dr. GurutzetaGuilleraAccommodation packages are availablehttps://www.prstatistics.com/course/species-distribution-models-using-r-sdmr01/Course Overview:The aim of this four-day course is to work towards an understanding of, andpractical ability to fit, species distribution models (SDMs). It will beuseful if you plan to use SDMs, or if you just want to understand thembetter. We will focus on statistical models of species distributions –those that combine observed species records with environmental data. Usinga mixture of lectures, computer exercises and case studies, participantswill learn to:1) identify relevant data, and prepare it for modelling;2) fit models using several modelling methods (including Maxent,generalized linear models and their extensions, and boosted regressiontrees);3) consider how to model species if detection is imperfect;4) evaluate models and interpret them;5) understand the range of practical issues that arise in typicalapplications of SDMs.Practical sessions will use the free statistical software, R – priorexperience (even if some practice before you come) will be useful. Exampledata will be provided but participants may also bring their own data.Tuesday 12thOverview of modelling distributions; niches and theoryThe modelling process – key conceptsPredictor variablesSpecies dataPractical: start working with supplied dataMethods for presence-absence data; introduction to use of regression modelsfor species modellingWednesday 13thGeneralised linear models (GLMs) and GLMMSPractical: using GLMs with dataHow to evaluate models – lecture and practicalOccupancy-detection models – lecture and practicalThursday 14thWhat if no absence data? – introduction to presence-only and background dataPractical: GLM with background dataRelative probabilities, point processesMaxent – lecture and practicalEvaluation for presence-background modelsHow to deal with biased dataFriday 15thBoosted regression trees – lecture and practicalComplexity vs simplicity in modelsUsing models for extrapolationHot topics: where is species modelling heading?Please email any questions to oliverhooker@prstatistics.comPlease feel free to share this anywhere you see fitOther up-coming courses include--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1.
