DESCRIPTION:This three day course is intended to open doors to applying sta
 tistics - whether directly increasing skills and personally undertaking an
 alyses\, or by expanding knowledge towards identifying collaborators. 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 all participants atten
 ding this course will be charged a registration fee of £150.\n\nPlease no
