Introduction to statistics with R (part I): data description and basic in-ference

Dr. Davide Paolo Bernasconi

English

Objectives
The course, through lectures and computer lab sessions, aims to provide basics notions of statistics to plan and analyze the results of a scientific study or experi-ment.
At the end of the course the participants should be able to choose the most suit-able design for their study, compute the optimal sample size, perform a graphical and tabular description of the data collected and analyze the association between variables through proper measures and hypothesis testing.

Course program
Day 1:

  • Planning a study: types of designs
  • Data summaries: descriptive measures and graphical representa-tions.
  • Lab session with R
    Day 2:
  • Introduction to hypothesis testing
  • Parametric tests for quantitative variables
  • Lab session with R
    Day 3:
  • Non-parametric tests for quantitative variables
  • Tests for categorical variables
  • Lab session with R
    Day 4:
  • Correction for multiple comparisons
  • Sensitivity, specificity and Lab session with R
