Course description and aims

[Description] This course focuses on the basics of statistics utilized in life sciences. Topics include analysis of one-dimensional data, multi-dimensional data, testing statistical hypothesis, as well as statistical distributions using various probability density functions. By the end of the course, students experience the data analysis through the group work. This course also includes practices using the R program language.

[Aim] Understanding the basic concept of statistics, as well as acquiring the skills to analyze the practical data. This course includes lectures and exercises using the R programing language.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
・Understand the basic concepts of statistical analysis.
・Analyze practical data statistically using the R programing language

Keywords

Statistics, the R programing language

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

At the beginning of each class, students are given (1) lecture for basic points, and (2) practical exercise with R. Toward the end of class, students should analyze practical data in group work
