Workshop on Bayesian data analysis with JAGS and R
@ KMUTT Bangkhunthien
The workshop, facilitated by the Biodiversity Conservation Society of Sarawak (BCSS), introduced the concepts underlying Bayesian approaches to data analysis, running standard analyses with the wiqid package in R. The modelling language used by the JAGS package makes it easy to write code for quite complex models, as the code closely follows the mathematical expressions we use to define the model. JAGS does not have a stand-alone GUI, but is closely integrated with R statistical software.
The workshop was attended by 22 participants including 2 from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden and Naresuan University; 1 from Mahidol University, Chiang Mai University, National University of Singapore, Wildteam Bangladesh, Suranaree University of Technology and Newcastkle University and 12 from the Conservation Ecology Group (KMUTT).
The Workshop was coordinated by Mike Meredith (BCSS and WCS), with the assistance of Ngumbang Juat (BCSS staff), Lukmann Haqeem bin Alen (WWF Malaysia) and Dusit Ngoprasert (CEG-KMUTT).

Special course: "Introduction to GIS with QGIS and R"
@ KMUTT Bangkhunthien
"Geographic information system (GIS) tools are essential today for understanding what is happening around us. A commonly used application is QGIS, which is free, open-source, cross-platform software that is constantly updated for greater performance.
QGIS works on Macs and Linux, but the facilitators only have experience with Windows.
This workshop is intended for those who want to learn the basics of GIS but do not have access to proprietary software."

Special course: "Charts and Graphs in R"
@ KMUTT Bangkhunthien
"Some types of charts can be drawn in spreadsheet software (eg. MS Excel or LibreOffice Calc), but R offers both a greater range of chart types and more flexibility in adjusting chart details to meet the demands of journal editors. We will focus on the powerful base graphics package in R, and only refer briefly to other add-in packages and ImageMagick."
