課程概述

This course is designed to teach the usage of R for the analysis of ecological data. It will introduce students to several different analysis options for biological or ecological data (focusing specifically on community-level data) using the free & open-source statistical, mapping, and graphing platform R. Broad topics covered will include: introduction to R language and basic functions / graphics; basic mapping options; diversity measurement; univariate, multivariate, parametric and non-parametric analysis and their basis; functional diversity; and ecological time series analysis. Students will require a laptop for sessions. Schedule is subject to changes according to student progress. 

課程目標
General knowledge in R language, and basic functions
Self-exploration of dataset, and customized analysis
In depth knowledge on community-ecology analysis 
課程要求
Basic knowledge in ecology, biology and informatics
