[FLR-list] Introductory courses on R/FLR

[ernesto.jardim at jrc.ec.europa.eu]

Hi,

There's only 15 places, so if 50 ICCAT sci sign we'll accept the first 
15 and move the course to Madrid.

It's a basic course, so people should bring simple data, like 
one-dimensional time series, and we'll use it to demonstrate how to read 
data in, make simple transformations, plots etc.

Don't know what you mean with the last one but the idea of this course 
is to complement the introduction to stocks assessment, advanced stock 
assessment and MSE series. If we manage to increase the knowledge on R 
and FLR to those going to these courses, we can do a lot more.

Best

EJ
