You will learn how to use various functions to run multivariate analyses in the ade4 R package:

• Introduction and use of multivariate analyses on data presenting structuring in groups of individuals (between/within-class analysis and discriminant analysis);
• Introduction to multivariate analyses of relation between two data tables.
• Use and comparison of several classic methods of coupling (co-inertia analysis, redundancy analysis, canonical correspondence analysis); Analyses of spatial data: manipulation, mapping and spatial mutlivariate analyses;
• Introduction to methods for analysing multiple data tables;
• Work in common, discussion and implementation of the methods of multivariate analyses with real data.

The course runs with lectures, practicals and general discussions. Example data are provided in the package itself, and used to illustrate analyses in the lectures and practicals, but own data can also be used.
