The end goal is to drive confident engagement with data analysis and further t raining - increasing the quality and reliability of interpretation\, and p utting that interpretation and subsequent presentation into the hands of t he researcher. Each day of the course will deliver a mixture of lectures\, workshops and hands-on practicals – and will focus on the following spe cific elements.\n \nDay 1 focuses on basic approaches and the computer ski lls required to do downstream analysis. Covering: Basic skills for data ma nipulation in R. How to prepare your data effectively. Principles of exper imental design and how this influences analysis. \n\nOn day 2\, participan ts will explore the core concepts of statistics – so that they can begin to see how they can be applied to their own work\, and to also help with better critical evaluation of the work of others. Covering: Basic statisti cs concepts and practice: power\, variability\, false discovery\, t-test\, effect size\, simulations to understand what a p-value means. \n\nOn day 3 we will continue to explore core concepts of statistics\, focusing on li near regression and multiple testing correction.\n\nCourse materials are a vailable [here](https://github.com/cambiotraining/stats-intro).\n\nThis ev ent is supported by the BBSRC Strategic Training Awards for Research Skill s (STARS) grant (BB/P022766/1).\n\nPlease note that if you are not eligibl e for a University of Cambridge [Raven](http://www.ucs.cam.ac.uk/docs/faq/ raven/n5) account you will need to book by linking [here](http://bioinfotr aining.bio.cam.ac.uk/booking-form/?event-id=2235484&\;course-title=Basi c%20statistics%20and%20data%20handling).''
