Description & Goals |
Contemporary
methods of estimation of fundamental population parameters,
survival and movement, with their implication for management.
Focus will be on assumptions and methodology of estimation
techniques. State-of-the-art computer applications will be
employed in laboratory exercises of actual and simulated data.
(Prerequisites: BIOL 271 and STAT 401.)
Lectures
and computer based laboratories will be used to develop
knowledge of modeling theory and skills with analytical
software. By the end of the course, students will be able
to determine appropriate design and analysis approach for
studies and marked individuals and be able to use appropriate
software to complete their analysis. |
