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.

Program

Please, bring your notebook with installed RStudio (or related) with you !
