About the Workshop SeriesIn this workshop series, we introduce various types of regression models and how they are implemented in R. We will cover linear regression, ANOVA, ANCOVA, and mixed-effects models for continuous response data, logistic regression binary response data, and Poisson and Negative Binomial regression for count response data.You will learn: <ul><li>the different functions used to build a statistical model in R</li><li>the assumptions behind the different models</li><li>how the formula object in R is used to specify all the model terms</li><li>how to interpret the main effects and interaction terms in a model</li><li>various experimental design concepts that help maximize power</li></ul>This workshop will take place in person, if there are any changes, we will change it to Zoom and a Zoom link will be provided to participants prior to the workshop via email.SessionsThis is a 2 part workshop series.
