Restriction: Must be in the Biological Sciences Graduate program; or permission of Biology Department.
Credit only granted for: BIOL705 or BIOL709F.
Formerly: BIOL709F.
An overview of essential probability and statistics using R with a focus on biological problems. Topics include: parameter estimation (likelihood, Bayesian), confidence intervals and hypothesis testing, multiple testing, experimental design and power analysis, and resampling-based measures of uncertainty. Practical use of computers will be emphasized.

Grad Meth:
Reg, Aud
Prerequisite: Basic coding knowledge.
Cross-listed with: BIPH706.
Credit only granted for: BIOL706, BIPH706 or BSCI435.
Establishes quantitative principles of how living systems work across scales from cells to organisms to populations while connecting mechanisms, models, and measurements. Traditional lectures are combined with computational modules available in Python, R, and MATLAB to help interdisciplinary students from physics, engineering, mathematics, computing, and the life sciences move from learning in the classroom to doing research in practice.
