Basic statistics with R

The goal of this workshop is to teach the statistical methods necessary to analyse biological data. The course details how to apply them using R. You will learn about descriptive statistics, how to distinguish patterns from random fluctuations, and how to use linear regression to predict and understand relationships in biological data.

The workshop will take place October 25-27, 2023 online.

Agenda:

Wed, Oct 25, 10am-4pm: Introduction to R and descriptive statistic

Thu, Oct 26, 9am-4pm: Hypothesis Testing and Non-Parametric Tests: learning to differentiate patterns from random variations

Fri, Oct 27, 9am-1pm: Linear Regression: simple and multiple linear regression techniques

Prerequisites: Basic understanding of R: familiarity with basic data types and the ability to apply functions within the language. Participants should feel comfortable with the basics of programming in R and be ready to delve into more advanced machine learning techniques tailored to the biological science. Participation in the "Introduction to R" course in May would be the perfect foundation for this course.
