Statistics for biologists II
The course covers biological statistics and experimental design.
The abilities to plan a study, analyse data and present results are necessary for anyone who undertakes a degree project, doctoral studies or works with investigations. This course of statistics will give you these abilities. We first build up a solid foundation from your previous knowledge, and then progress to more advanced methods. The course focuses on how to select the appropriate method of analysis and how to analyse data with the aid of statistics programs.
