Learning Outcomes

By the end of the day participants will…

have a thorough understanding of popular statistical techniques
have the skills to make appropriate assumptions about the structure of the data and check the validity of these assumptions in R
be able to fit regression models in R between a response variable understand how to apply said techniques to their own data using R’s common interface to statistical functions
be able to cluster data using standard clustering techniques

Materials

Prior Knowledge

It will be assumed that participants are familiar with R. For example, inputting data, basic visualisation and data frames. Attending the Introduction to R course will provide sufficient background. This course is suitable for all fields of work. Previous attendees include biologists, statisticians, accountants, engineers & students, i.e., anyone who uses a spreadsheet!

Attendee Feedback

“Really enjoyed the course and it will all be very useful for me in my PhD studies, thanks Jamie!”
I am not a fan of stats, I prefer programming not strictly related to data analysis. BUT this is something I will also need during my PhD and it was a really useful course. Jamie was able to explain the general ideas behind the different statistical tests and was also happy to go deeper for more expert people. And, most important, he showed us how to do those stats in R, which is the language we use in our info@jumpingrivers.com 5 lab. Kind and nice as always, he also structured the timing of the course such a way that we could have proper breaks and survive :)”
