Develop an understanding of the principles, methods, and interpretation of statistical models for longitudinal data (i.e. repeated measures over time) using R. The course will cover the principles of Linear Mixed Models from simple models to more complex, and includes practical, hands-on experience of longitudinal analysis in R. The workshop is relevant for researchers and students from all disciplines, although examples and exercises will focus on biological datasets.

N.B. Prior knowledge of R and RStudio is required as the basics of R will not be covered. Please do not register unless you have this experience. Participants will also need to be familiar with the basic concepts of statistical hypothesis testing and regression analysis.

This live, online workshop takes place from 9:00am to 5:00pm AEST on Tuesday 16th September 2025.

Chromebooks and tablets are not suitable for this workshop; you will need a full-function computer.

What prior experience do I need?

Prior experience with R and the RStudio interface is required, as the basics of R will not be covered. Participants are expected to have a basic familiarity with the concepts of statistical hypothesis testing and regression analysis.

Who should attend?

Researchers dealing with longitudinal data, time courses, and other complex non-independent datasets.

How can I contact the organiser with any questions?
