Purpose
Enables Life Scientists to Effectively and Rapidly Analyse Their Data Using the R Software Package
Participants Learn How To:
- Operate R using variables, functions, indexing and packages.
- Import their own data regardless of size or format.
- Perform standard statistical tests on large data-sets.
- Produce plots and highlight specific data-points.
- Begin programming in R using the apply functions.
- Use split-combine-apply strategies for calculations and data manipulation.
- Begin to adopt a bioinformatician’s perspective.
Our Teaching Approach:
- Emphasises hands-on exercises – “Learning-by-doing” reinforces participants’ understanding.
- Uses relevant examples – Biological data-sets engage participants and help them to relate the material to their own work.
- Provides case studies – In-depth examples reinforce the power and simplicity of data analysis using R.
- Creates an informal atmosphere that motivates life scientists to analyse their own data.
Science Craft’s Distinctive Advantage:
- A reference book written for the specific needs of life scientists who do not have programming experience or knowledge of R.
- Instructors are life scientists with both laboratory and computational research experience using diverse applications of R.
- This stand-alone course can be supplemented with the Data Visualization course to provide students with a comprehensive grounding in producing elegant graphics and statistics from raw data.
