DESCRIPTION:# Overview  \nThis course is designed to provide researchers in
  biomedical sciences with experience in the application of basic statistic
 al analysis techniques to a variety of biological problems.\nThe course wi
 ll combine lectures on statistics and practical exercises\, during which t
 he participants will learn how to work with the widely used "R" language a
 nd environment for statistical computing and graphics.\nTopics covered dur
 ing the course include: reminders about numerical and graphical summaries\
 , and hypothesis testing\; multiple testing\, linear models\, correlation 
 and regression\, and other topics. Participants will also have the opportu
 nity to ask questions about the analysis of their own data.\n\n# Audience\
 nThis typical profile is a biologist needing to perform statistical analys
 es using R.\n\n# Learning outcomes\nAt the end of the course\, the partici
 pants are expected to:\n\n	choose the right method to summarize a dataset\
 , graphically and numerically\n	perform basic hypothesis tests on a datate
 st\n	assess whether different variables are linked\, using correlation and
  regression analysis\n	Use the R statistical package to run statistical an
 alyses and interpret their outcome\n\n\n# Prerequisites\nTechnical:\n\n	A 
 laptop with a wifi connection\n	Software to be installed PRIOR to the cour
 se: R\, R Studio\n\nKnowledge / competencies: \n\nNo prior statistical kno
 wledge is required in order to attend the course\nParticipants do not need
  any experience in R before the course\n\n\n# Application\n\n\nRegistratio
