Biostatistics with R is designed around the dynamic interplay among statistical methods, their applications in biology, and their implementation. The course covers basic statistical concepts with a simple yet rigorous language. The development of ideas is in the context of real applied problems, for which step-by-step instructions for using R and R-Studio are provided. Topics include data exploration, estimation, hypothesis testing, linear regression analysis, and clustering taken from the scratch of installing and using R and R-Studio.
The trainer discusses basic statistical analysis through a series of biological examples using R and R-Studio as computational tools. The course is ideal for practitioners handling biological data and other health scientists. The step-by-step application of statistical methods explained in this course allow trainees, who are interested in statistics and its application in biology, to form a firm foundation in handling projects that involve computational biology.
