Hello EVOLDIR members Last chance to join our 2-day seminar Multilevel Modeling in R livestreaming February 26??"27 with Scott Colwell (University of Guelph and Enablytics). This seminar provides a rigorous introduction to multilevel modeling in R, focusing on the conceptual foundations and practical estimation for clustered or nested data. Researchers in evolutionary biology and genetics can apply these advanced methods to analyze hierarchical structures, such as genetic variation within populations or phenotypic traits across species, ensuring robust inferences from complex datasets. Participants will master R workflows for model specification, diagnostics, and reproducible reporting, directly enhancing the methodological rigor of their empirical studies. Sign up today (https://instats.org/seminar/multilevel-modeling-in-r) to secure your spot, and please share this opportunity with colleagues and students who might benefit!
