From 26 – 30 June 2017, Dr. Mareike Koppik from the Institute for Evolution and Biodiversity offered a workshop for MGSE PhD students who are interested in using generalized linear models (GLMs) and R for their statistical analysis. She was supported by her colleagues from the Evolution & Sexual Conflict Group Dr. Claudia Fricke, Kristina Wensing, and Sergio Ávila Calero.

“The MGSE Statistics Workshop was outstanding! Starting with an introduction to statistical modelling we thereafter got to know different models, their theoretical background and learned how to apply them in R. This knowledge was strengthened by exercises that have been created with lots of effort in advance and based on “real” data sets with biological background. Mareike and Claudia showed the amazing capacity to catch everyone at their individual level of knowledge, what made the course worthwhile for everyone. Thank you so much for your effort and time and for the knowledge you shared with us!”
