The summer school is intended for PhD students, advanced master students, or researchers that want to analyse (multivariate) data on ecological communities with state-of-the-art statistical models. Such models have great benefits for inference, prediction, and validation, especially compared to more classical methods for multivariate analysis (e.g., DCA, NMDS and such). The covered approaches will include multispecies (vector) generalised linear models and mixed-effects models, model-based ordination, and Joint Species Distribution Models. There will be both lectures and practical R-exercises, and some leisure time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Dovrefjell national park. We will focus on fitting models with the gllvm R-package<<a href="https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/gllvm/index.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/gllvm/index.html</a>> , but will additionally provide an overview of other packages available for fitting similar models, and their pros and cons. There is limited space at the venue, so that a maximum of 23 participants w<br>
 ill be admitted. Note that room sharing is to be expected.<br>
Location: Basecamp Frich's Hjerkinn, Hjerkinn, Norway<br>
Application deadline: 3 March<br>
Dates: 21 - 25 July<br>

The summer school is made possible thanks to funding provided by Nordic Society Oikos.<br>
