Statistics for Lab Science

9 units · Undergraduate

Intermittent: 9 units This course is a single-semester introduction to the fundamentals of statistical modeling for students in the biological sciences and chemistry. The goal of this course is to provide in a single semester an introduction to the formal tools of statistical inference that will enable students to take more advanced methods classes. In addition, to motivate ideas and methods this course will emphasize principles of good statistical thinking and practice through the use of examples and case studies, primarily in the biomedical and public health sciences. The course will also introduce the use of a statistical software package to enable students to do fairly sophisticated data analyses with real data sets. Prerequisites: 21-256 or 21-259 or 21-122 or 21-112 or 21-120
