Sci: Biology & Life Sciences Statistics & Data Analysis

A focus on the techniques commonly used to perform statistical inference on high throughput data. In this course you’ll learn various statistics topics including multiple testing problem, error rates, error rate controlling procedures, false discovery rates, q-values and exploratory data analysis. We then introduce statistical modeling and how it is applied to high-throughput data. In particular, we will discuss parametric distributions, including binomial, exponential, and gamma, and describe maximum likelihood estimation.
