This course deals with evaluation techniques for ecological data and with the interplay between experimental design and data analysis. Multivariate statistical methods are presented with a focus on techniques common in community ecology. These include both exploratory statistics (e.g. ordination and classification) and hypothesis testing with an emphasis on nonparametric permutation tests. The necessary theory will be outlined as a basis for the practical work with specific software. A firm understanding of basic statistical methods such as analysis of variance and regression is assumed. Since this course is specifically intended for people during preparation of their theses, there will be the possibility to bring own data sets.

Presence at the introductory session on March 7 is mandatory for participation.
