This 2-day NERC funded Advanced Training Short Course will provide a theoretical overview and hands-on training in the processing and analysis of metabolomics data. You will study specific case studies from the environmental sciences, learning the step-by-step processes that are applied in the data analysis pipeline. The course will be delivered using a combination of lectures and computer workshops, and time will be dedicated to answering questions and discussing your projects.
Topics include:

• An overview of the data processing pipeline
• Principal component analysis, discriminant analysis and model validation
• Univariate statistical analysis
• Common misunderstandings in chemometrics and model interpretation
• Computational metabolite annotation and identification
