Stats Refresher for Biologists in “R” software
Many scientific studies are full of statistical jargon, tables of
averages and other statistics, and results of statistical tests which
purport to prove a certain hypothesis. The purpose of this course was to
review some of the basic sampling and experiment designs used by
ecologists and to understand exactly what can and cannot be extracted
from a set of data. With the advent of modern statistical packages, the
analysis of data is fairly easy, but it is far too easy to get nonsense
results. This course also reviewed common pitfalls in the analysis of
data.
Prerequisites: A “basic” knowledge of statistics, i.e., usually a
single course somewhere in your background. A working knowledge of “R”
software. If you are new to “R” then we have a 1/2 day Intro to “R”
Software course taking place the day before this course! See HERE for more details.
Registration includes catered breaks provided by La Baguette and
there is an option to add in bagged lunches for $13/day. Registration
for the preceding half-day Introduction to R software course may be done
at the same time as registration for this course (see link below).
