FISH 506R

Fisheries and Population Modelling Methods Using R

FISH 506R Credits: 3

Since about 2000 the most commonly used programming language for fisheries and ecological modeling and data analysis has become R (R Core Team 2019) and undergraduate and graduate courses in ecology and statistics have become commonly taught with R as the statistical software of choice. R is commonly used among fisheries scientists and ecologists in government agencies, academia, non-governmental organizations and consultancies. R is used, among other things, for conventional statistical analyses, for plotting purposes, to code up computer simulation models representing fish, invertebrate and mammal population dynamics, and to manage implementations of Bayesian statistical packages such as WinBUGS, JAGS and STAN.
