Description |
Advanced Course on Biostatistics organized in seven modules over two days and related exercises (while using advanced R software):
i) Re-organize your xls-data: a 1st but important step of statistical modeling ii) Case study I: Evaluation of Genève group data: choosing the appropriate test for nay distributed, small sample size data iii) High-dim data analysis: Principle component analysis of biological data iv) High-dim data analysis: Cluster analysis and multivariate tests v) Case study II: Analysis of Lausanne group data: using mixed effect models for hierarchical designs with technical replicated (4 probes on a leave) vi) Use of compatibility intervals to retire p-values vii) Case study III: Analysis of a 3-factor biological exp: using interaction contrasts
IMPORTANT! : the participants must be familiar with R. For Mac-OS users: please check the R-libraries before the course. |
