Environmental Conservation 690D - Data Simulation

Module will cover how to use data simulations for generalized linear models, generalized linear mixed models, and some state space models (like occupancy models, N-mixture). The course will focus on statistical methods in the program R, and both frequentist and Bayesian methods will be covered to teach students how to develop a deeper understanding of models routinely used in ecology. This is a module taught over 4 weeks, where there is one 3 hr class meeting per week. During that class meeting, there will be a combination of lecture and lab, with most of the class time devoted to lab time.

Students are required to have a working understanding of the program R (R Core Team, 2021)
