Statistical Analysis in R

Overview

This module helps you learn statistical concepts and perform statistical analysis of biological data using R. You will create random datasets, learn about statistical distributions (binomial, Poisson, normal/Guassian) and perform Student’s t test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), linear regression, Principle Component Analysis (PCA) and clustering analysis.

Details

R has become an essential tool for statistical analysis of biological data, because it includes numerous functions for performing simple and complex analysis tasks. Some of those functions come from latest research made freely available by the researchers.

R is also an excellent tool for learning statistics, because you can create random data and visualize the statistical behavior. Visual learning is more intuitive than the textbook approach of algebraic derivation of the same results.
