"Introduction to R and statistics for biologists"

Delivered by Dr. Luc Bussiere and Dr. Ane Timenes Laugen

http://www.prstatistics.com/course/introduction-to-statistics-and-r-for-biologists-irfb02/

This course will run from 17th – 21st April 2017 at FAFU University, Fuzhou, China A more advanced follow on course is scheduled for the week after (Advancing in R) and a discount is available if both courses are booked at the same time.

The course is aimed at biologists with no experience using the software R and no understanding or exposure to statistics.

The course will consist of a series of 10 modules each lasting roughly half a day, and designed to build required skills for subsequent modules and more advanced courses. At its conclusion, participants will have acquired basic skills in coding with R, and will be able to perform and interpret simple analyses, and critically evaluate similar analyses from the scientific literature and technical reports.

Course content is as follows

Day 1 Course introduction
Module 1: Introduction to coding in the R language
Module 2: Data visualization in the R {graphics} package

Day 2
Module 3: Probability theory and distributions
Module 4: Advanced programming features in R

Day 3
Module 5: Null hypothesis testing and parameter estimation
Module 6: Replicable and systematic workflows: the ADF method

Day 4
Module 7: Introduction to linear models
Module 8: Multiple predictors & collinearity

Day 5
Module 9: Interactions & model simplification using partial F-tests
Module 10: Case study
