# Introduction to multivariate data analysis using vegan

Get started using the vegan package for R for multivariate data analysis and community ecology

## July 7th, 2020 @ 1000-1200 CST (1600-1800 UTC)

**Recording**: [youtu.be/tVnnG7mFeqA](https://youtu.be/tVnnG7mFeqA)

## Donations

The webinar is free to attend; this is a difficult time for everyone, monies are tight, and options for training have been reduced because of Covid-19. However, if you are financially able, please consider making a donation to the University of Regina Student Emergency Fund, which helps provide urgently needed support to our hardworking students. You can donate to the U of R Student Emergency Fund at [https://giving.uregina.ca/student-emergency-fund]().

## Description

For community ecologists using R, one of the most-used, and most-useful, add-on packages is vegan, which provides a wide range of functionality covering inter alia ordination, diversity analysis, and ecological simulation. This webinar will offer participants a practical introduction to some of the most useful functions available within vegan. In particular, the webinar will cover the unconstrained ordination methods

* Principal Components Analysis,

* Correspondence Analysis, and

* Non-metric Multi-Dimensional Scaling

as well as some of the associated functions for computing diversity measures, transforming data, and creating dissimilarity matrices.

By registering for the webinar you'll get emails linking you to webinar and the webinar materials (slides etc). The webinar is free to attend and all materials will be freely accessible. Registering just allows me to gauge interest and to provide updates to you in the lead up to the webinar.

The webinar will be live streamed on YouTube owing to the number of people that have registered. The recording will be available after the webinar if the time in your time zone isn't convenient for you.
