This workshop will take place on May 27-29, 2024 and will be held online. The workshop’s language is English.
Agenda:
Mon, May 27, 10am–4pm
Introduction to R and descriptive statistic
Tues, May 28, 9am–4pm
Hypothesis Testing and Non-Parametric Tests: learning to differentiate patterns from random variations
Linear Regression: simple and multiple linear regression techniques
Learning goals
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:
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 statistical techniques tailored to the biological sciences.
Participation in the "Introduction to R" course earlier in May (6-8th May) would be the perfect foundation for this course.
Basic understanding of statistics: Familiarity with basic statistical concepts such as variance, expected value, histograms and probability distributions
