The goal of the course 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.

Prerequisites

• Participants should have some basic knowledge of the R language (e.g. participation in the "Introduction to R" course in May 2024 or similar).
