Comprehensive notes and additional resources to accompany the workshop Statistical Ecotoxicology using R.

Table of Contents

  1. Preliminaries

    • The nature of statistical science
    • Levels of measurement and implications for estimation and inference
    • Discrete and continuous probability models
    • Concept of sampling distributions of sample statistics
    • Frequentist and Bayesian statistical paradigms
  2. Review of basic concepts

    • Review of common discrete probability distributions:
    • uniform; bernoulli; binomial;hypergeometric; poisson; geometric; negative binomial
    • Using R's intrinsic functions to compute probabilities
  3. Linear models

    • the linear statistical model
    • OLS estimation for simple regression models
    • the GLM in matrix notation
    • ANOVA models and construction of design matrices
    • efficient coding techniques
    • more advanced models including interaction effects
    • testing hypotheses using orthogonal contrasts
  4. ACRs and bimodality

    • the relevance of multi-modal distributions in ecotoxicology
    • how to detect multi-modality
    • review of Australian Guidelines for testing for bi-modality
    • using R to perform the computations associated with the test of bi-modality
    • review of approaches too harmonizing acute and chronic toxicity data
    • discussion of options for computing an ACR from empirical daa
    • R software tools for ACR computation
  5. Software tools for SSDs

    • review of contemporary tools for fitting species sensitivity distributions:
    • R package ssdtools; on-line program MOSAIC; and BurrliOz software
    • comparison of performance of these tools with published data
  6. Model averaging and bias correction

    • strengths and weaknesses of the SSD approach
    •  model selection and estimation issues
    • assessing the adequacy of a fitted model
    • explanation of how model averaging works
    • using R to compute model weights and obtain HCx estimates from a model-averaged SSD fit
    • the impact of selection bias on SSD modelling and HCx estimation
    • how to compute a bias correction factor for an HCx - use of Excel spreadsheet
  7. Optimal experimental design

    • Simple formulae for determining number of experimental and control replicates in a C-R experiment
    • geometric interpretation of a matrix determinant; concept of D-optimality
    • using R to identify concentration spacing to achieve D-optimality using C-R threshold model
  8. Appendix A - R code for ACRs

  9. Appendix B - R code for D-optimal designs

Statistical Ecotoxicology using R - Module 1: Introduction to Statistical Modelling using R July 1 - 3, 2019 (3 days)

Charles Darwin University - Waterfront Campus

21 Kitchener Dr, Darwin City NT

  This is a predominantly  'hands-on' course that will provide the necessary background information and tools to get started with analysing data within the R computing environment. On successful completion, participants will be able to:
  • Understand the basics of the R environment (data frames, objects, classes, factors, lists, workspace, installing and loading packages, getting help)
  • Read in data from various sources (ASCII files; Excel spreadsheets; CSV files etc.) as well as using built-in data sets.
  • Perform basic data manipulations and re-organise raw data into standard formats with the help of in-built packages such as tidyverse and dplyr.
  • Create various R objects such as data frames and lists and know how to manipulate these using conditional selection, grouping, sorting, and list functions such as lapply and mapply.
  • Use intrinsic functions to transform data and perform basic arithmetic.
  • Use R's intrinsic graphics functions to produce high-quality graphics.
  • Use the ggplot2 package to create more advanced data visualisations.
  • Write simple R programs to perform more complex tasks.
  • Undertake basic statistical analyses using R functions and other packages.
