Learn how to analyse ecological survey data while accounting for imperfect
detection in our live online course *Analysing Ecological Data with
Detection Error (AEDD01)*.

https://prstats.org/course/analysing-ecological-data-with-detection-error-aedd01/

Many ecological datasets include detection bias ? species are present but
not observed, counts are underestimated, or survey methods vary in
detectability. This applied R course provides a practical introduction to
statistical methods that explicitly model detection error, helping you
produce more accurate and defensible ecological inferences.

The course covers:

   -

   Understanding detection probability and observation bias in ecological
   surveys
   -

   Occupancy models and abundance models with imperfect detection
   -

   Survey design considerations and data requirements
   -

   Model fitting, validation, and interpretation in R
   -

   Applying detection-error methods to real ecological datasets

Delivered live online with recordings available, participants receive
course materials, datasets, and post-course support.

*Course details*
Format: Live online
Duration: 2 days
Includes: Course materials, code examples, and post-course support

This course is suitable for postgraduate students, researchers, ecological
consultants, and conservation practitioners working with survey,
monitoring, or citizen-science datasets where detectability is uncertain or
variable.
