Multidimensional data on community composition, properties of individual populations, or properties of environment are the bread and butter of an ecologist’s life. They need to be carefully analysed taking their multidimensionality into account. Looking at the properties of each variable separately does not work in most cases. The methods for statistical analysis of such data sets fit under the umbrella of ‘multiple regression models and multivariate statistical methods’. In this course, our intention is to provide the participant with both the basic understanding of the principles of multivariate methods and the skills needed to use those methods in his/her own work. The course consists of lectures and computer practicals using RStudio.
