SORTEE Workshop: An introduction to using simulations for study design and pre-registration

The use of simulations in study design can directly help address several issues in ecology and evolutionary biology, including research waste, p-hacking and HARKing. However, simulations are infrequently used in a standard workflow, in part because of the perception that they are too complex for the average empiricist. The aim of this workshop is to challenge this perception and provide tools for empiricists to start simulating.

Requirements: The workshop will assume an understanding of basic statistics including linear regression. A working knowledge of R will be required to take parts in the practical parts of the workshop.

The workshop is given by Dr. Joel L. Pick from the University of Edinburgh.

This event is part of the SORTEE Workshop & Webinar Series. For information on upcoming events, visit the SORTEE website.
