Background
The Quantitative Ecology SIG brings together ecologists who are interested in learning, applying and developing quantitative methods, which underpin modern ecological research. The group is an opportunity for people to share skills and promote best practice, spanning the breadth of ecological disciplines. “Quantitative ecology” is necessarily broad, encompassing statistical methods, computational modelling, programming, machine learning and artificial intelligence.
By offering events focused on certain techniques and approaches, the SIG allows people to be exposed to new and different ways of thinking about statistics and programming.
The SIG hosts a community-contributed set of guides for quantitative methods
