Spatial Capture-Recapture Workshop in Banff

Angela Fuller, Andy Royle, and I will be offering a 3-day SCR workshop in Banff in March. A brief description is below. Follow the link at the bottom for registration information and details.

Instructors
 Andy Royle (USGS Patuxent Wildlife Research Center)
 Richard Chandler (University of Georgia)
 Angela Fuller (USGS and Cornell University)

Date: 12-14 March 2018 (3 days)

Location: Banff, Alberta, Canada

Cost
 USD$600 (normal rate) or USD$450 (student rate). Cost includes
 breakfast, lunch, and refreshment breaks.

Overview
 This course introduces key models used in the analysis of
 spatially-explicit capture-recapture data using Bayesian and classical
 (likelihood) methods. It will closely follow material from the book
 "Spatial Capture-Recapture" (Elsevier, 2014). The workshop will cover
 basic model and data analysis concepts in R and the BUGS language
 (using WinBUGS or JAGS), analysis of classical capture-recapture
 models (models M0, Mb, Mh, etc...), concepts and methods of spatial
 capture-recapture models and their analysis using the R package "oSCR"
 and also using the BUGS language. Advanced topics will include open
 population models and integrated population models.
