Sessions for each week will run 9:00 am – 5:45 pm over 5 days (Monday-Friday).

Further information, including details regarding registration and pricing, will be available soon. Meanwhile, do get in touch with us and express your interest in this course, and we will update you with all further details directly.

PERMANOVA+ is an add-on package for PRIMER. Its core routine, PERMANOVA+ allows robust analysis of multivariate data in response to complex sampling/experimental designs on the basis of a resemblance measure of choice, with rigorous inferences obtained using permutation methods. The broader suite of methods in PERMANOVA+ enable formal models, tests, and predictions to be achieved for multivariate ecological (and other) systems that are over-parameterised (i.e., have too many variables) and/or that demonstrate substantial non-normality. Familiarity with the core methods in PRIMER and/or some prior knowledge of basic multivariate methods is desirable. However, week 2 (like week 1) will emphasise conceptual understanding, software implementation and interpretation of the methods for scientists and practitioners, so no prior specific background in statistics is assumed.
