About the course
The course gives an introduction to the most commonly applied statistical techniques and tools used to analyse experimental data in natural sciences. In addition to providing you with an overview of the statistical "toolbox", the course aims at giving an understanding of the philosophy and reasoning behind statistical design and inference as well as practical experience in running various different statistical models. Throughout the course, participants will therefore conduct a series of practical exercises. Some support for students using the software platform R is provided.
Teaching will mostly be scheduled on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.
