Stats Workshops - Winter 2011 series

The BGSA R-Stats workshops are back again for another semester!
NEW DAY: MONDAYS 2-4 pm in the Stewart Biology computer lab (N4/17)
Check the website for complete schedule.

New & Improved!
We've changed the format a little, based on all the great feedback we received in the fall.

The most important change is that we have expanded the introduction to R material into 3 FULL WORKSHOPS, in consecutive weeks at the start of the semester. These workshops are designed to get you up & running with R, at a comfortable pace without overloading you with extra material. Even if you took the intro R workshops in the fall, you are welcome to attend these re-designed workshops if you want a refresher or a boost up the learning curve.
We expect the intro workshops to be popular, so registration will be required (register on the web site).

Beginning in February, the rest of the semester will feature various Special Topics, each a self-contained introduction or overview of a specific statistical method and how to implement it in R. There will be NO registration for special topics workshops: space will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis, so don't be late!

Check out the stats workshops web site for full details:
