This workshop is a follow-up to the Introduction to vegan webinar offered earlier this week (   • Introduction to multivariate data ana...  ) or for those that already use vegan and want to delve into some of the detail. The webinar will focus on building constrained ordination models and illustrate some of vegan’s more advanced features, including the use of restricted permutations to test a range of experimental designs.

The webinar will cover
when and how to use multivariate methods including constrained ordination (CCA, RDA, Constrained PCoA), as well as between-group tests such as PERMANOVA.
design- and model-based permutations and the exchangeability of samples in tests.
the use of vegan to go beyond simply fitting a constrained ordination model, to diagnostics, plotting, etc.

The webinar assumes that participants have a basic level of familiarity with working in R, including data import and basic indexing and subsetting, with the use of basic functions in vegan, and with community ecology statistics, such as ordination. If you are new to vegan, consider also taking the introduction webinar.

The webinar is free to attend; this is a difficult time for everyone, monies are tight, and options for training have been reduced because of Covid-19. However, if you are financially able, please consider making a donation to the University of Regina Student Emergency Fund, which helps provide urgently needed support to our hardworking students.
