[su_tab title = “Description”]
An introduction to basic statistical concepts and R programming skills necessary for analyzing data in the life sciences.
[/su_tab]
[su_tab title = “Program Structure”]
- We will learn the basics of statistical inference in order to understand and compute p-values and confidence intervals.
- We will provide examples by programming in R in a way that will help make the connection between concepts and implementation. Problems sets requiring R programming will be used to test understanding and ability to implement basic data analyses.
- We will use visualization techniques to explore new data sets and determine the most appropriate approach.
- We will describe robust statistical techniques as alternative when data do not fit assumptions required by the standard approaches.
- We will also introduce the basics of using R scripts to conduct reproducible research.
Topics:
- Distributions
- Exploratory Data Analysis
- Inference
- Non-parametric statistics
