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 lecture\, 
 workshop and hands-on practice – and will focus on the following specifi
 c elements.\n \nDay 1 focuses on basic approaches and the computer skills 
 required to do downstream analysis. Covering: Basic skills for data manipu
 lation in R. How to prepare your data effectively. Principles of experimen
 tal design and how this influences analysis. \n\nOn day 2\, participants w
 ill 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 bett
 er critical evaluation of the work of others. Covering: Basic statistics c
 oncepts and practice: power\, variability\, false discovery\, t-test\, eff
 ect size\, simulations to understand what a p-value means. \n\nOn day 3 wi
 ll use some practical statistics examples in R to introduce concepts in da
 ta presentation for publication. Covering: Some practical examples of stat
 istics in R. Visualising and publishing your data. \n\nCourse materials ar
 e available [here](https://bioinformatics-core-shared-training.github.io/w
 inter-school2016/).\n\nThis event is sponsored by [CRUK](http://www.cancer
