Dear colleagues, registrations are open for the 2nd edition of the online course on Ecological Time Series Analysis and Forecasting in R, scheduled from May 27th to 31st, 2024. Classes will be held from 9 AM to 12 PM Berlin time, with additional self-guided practical sessions using annotated R scripts. Course website: https://www.physalia-courses.org/courses-workshops/time-series-in-r/ In this course, we will delve into dynamic processes using Bayesian modeling software, Stan, along with packages like {mvgam} and {brms} to build ecologically appropriate models. You will learn to wrangle, visualize, and explore ecological time series data, enabling you to produce accurate forecasts. By the end of this course, you will: 1. Understand dynamic GLMs and GAMs for capturing nonlinear effects and temporal dependence. 2. Fit dynamic models using {mvgam} and {brms} packages in R. 3. Critically evaluate and compare fitted dynamic models. 4. Produce accurate forecasts and assess their performance using probabilistic scoring rules.
