Admission requirements
No formal admission requirements, but it is helpful if students have followed the statistics education from the first two years of Biomedical Sciences.
Description
The course teaches how to do data analysis in the open source statistical program R. It covers calculations, reading data, manipulating data, making plots and reports, basic statistical methods, and basic programming skills. Focus is on R as a language, so the course is not tailored to any specific application.
Course objectives
After following the course, students are able to use R to perform advanced statistical or bioinformatics analyses in their own research projects. They will be able to summarize and visualize complex data and make analysis using R in a reproducible way.
