Course Details
This PRIMER/PERMANOVA Essentials hybrid course (offered in person and online) will be presented by Distinguished Professor Marti J. Anderson (FRSNZ)
The course will cover the essentials – a suite of core non-parametric methods implemented in PRIMER software, as well as several key semi-parametric methods encapsulated in PERMANOVA+. The 5-day course will be held in person at Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) in Moss Landing, CA, USA. Those participating online will join the course live via Google Meet (in the USA Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) time zone, UTC – 7 hrs). Sessions will run daily, Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 5:30 pm each day.
Each day will include a mixture of lectures and computer lab sessions, in which participants can practice implementing the new methods learned on example datasets. Participants attending in person will also have the opportunity to discuss and analyse their own data in consultation with the presenter. This course will cater both to those who are new to PRIMER and to those who are familiar with PRIMER methods, but would like a refresher. This course is designed for scientists and research practitioners; it will emphasise the achievement of a conceptual understanding of multivariate methods, with demonstrations of how to implement the software and interpret results, so no prior background in statistics is required.
