Statistics for Wildlife Professionals
MATH401
Description
Data collected by wildlife biologists often requires forms of analysis not covered in entry-level statistics courses. This advanced statistics course introduces students to techniques currently used by ecologists, and covers the components of experimental design that create effective research and monitoring programs. Students will learn the underlying components important for the design and implementation of statistical models used in their research. Examples will emphasize regression-based approaches to data analysis and explore the impacts of assessment and monitoring on data to inform experimental design. Students will learn to conduct and interpret results from regression analysis, as well as use information-theoretic approaches for model selection.
