Duration :Duration : 2.0 day(s)
 
 

:: Course Summary

This applied training session in statistics is aimed at all life sciences scientific staff designing experiments and analyzing data. This session covers the regression models used in life sciences: simple linear regression, multiple regression, logistic regression, case of several explanatory variables.

:: Target Audience

This applied training session in statistics is aimed at all life sciences scientific staff designing experiments and analyzing data.

:: Prerequisite

Participants should know the essential tools in statistics - descriptive statistics, both numerical (mean, standard deviation, standard error, etc.) and graphical (histogram, box-plot, scatter plot, etc.), hypothesis testing and confidence intervals - either by having attended the training session Fundamental Tools in Statistics or by possessing a similar background.
