Resource Selection Function Workshop
Back by popular demand, the Oregon Chapter of The Wildlife Society is hosting a two and a half day Resource Selection Function (RSF) workshop, taught by Dr. Ryan Long from the University of Idaho.
The workshop will be held October 22-24 2019, in Adair Village (Near Corvallis), at the ODFW Office conference room.
Address: 7118 NE Vandenberg Ave, Adair Village, OR 97330.
Topics will include:
1) Attendees will need to provide their own laptop computers for completing workshop exercises.
2) Computers will need to have the following software installed:
1) The most recent (or at least a relatively recent) version of ArcGIS (ArcMap with spatial analyst extension enabled: NOT ArcGIS Pro).
2) The most recent 64-bit version of R (https://www.r-project.org/). Attendees are welcome to use R Studio or a similar interface if they want, but everything taught will be in base R, so that's how the exercises and demonstrations are set up
Make sure you install the lme4 and MASS packages prior to the workshop.
3) The 32-bit version of R 3.2.0. The package for fitting resource utilization functions only runs in slightly older versions of R.
In the 32-bit version of R 3.2.0, the RUF package needs to be installed by running the following line of code: install.packages("ruf",repos="http://www.stat.ucla.edu/~handcock")
