1. Likelihood Methods and Models in Ecology

Fechas: 25-29 Abril 2011. 
 
New course organizated by «iEcolab» (Centro Andaluz de Medio Ambiente) and «Fundación General Universidad de Granada), which covers the concepts, theories and application of likelihood methods as a comprehensive framework for analysis of ecological data and for testing alternate hypotheses in the context of model comparison. The course includes lectures on likelihood principles, seminars on applications in ecology, and discussion of recent literature. More than half of the course is devoted to computer-based labs in which students use the R software package to learn likelihood methods and modeling. The course is intended for graduate students, postdocs, and faculty in ecology or related fields. An undergraduate or graduate level background in statistics is desired, but the course will teach the basic principles of probability theory required for the methods. Students should be familiar with R before the course, and a set of tutorials and reference materials will be posted on the course website for students just getting started with R. The date of the course are: April 25-29 2011. The course duration is 34 hours. The registration fee is 300 Eur. and the AEET (Asociación Española de Ecología Terrestre) offers five 100 Eur. grants to its members (more info: info@aeet.org).
