Ecological Models and Data in R

This is the web site for a book being published by Princeton University Press in September 2008, on Ecological Models and Data in R (ISBN 0691125228). It is available for pre-order from Princeton University Press and Amazon.com.
book cover: Ecological Models and Data in R

The book is based on a class I have taught several times at the University of Florida, covering the nitty-gritty of constructing and fitting simple (statistical) ecological models to real data sets. If you want to see the existing notes for the course, start here. 

I have set up a wiki for the book at emdbolker.wikidot.com/: this has errata (not too many yet) and added notes for each chapter.

Exercises:


Data and scripts:

Most of the data for the book are available in the emdbook package on CRAN. If you would like the goby data, please contact me.

Miscellaneous R code

(put tangled R code here)

Most of the R code for doing things in the book is now in the two packages bbmle (also available in a development version) and emdbook, both available from R archive (CRAN) or via install.packages from inside R.
