Descriptif

Objectives : The purpose of this course is to introduce the students to how statistics is used in practice. By working-out practical examples, students will learn how to select and use appropriate statistical methodologies. We will use data produced in many different areas including among other biology, medicine, toxicology, etc. The course will present both statistical theory and practical analysis on real data sets. The R statistical software and several R packages will be used for implementing methods presented in the course and analyzing real data.

Taking previously the course " Statistics with R" (MAP536) is strongly encouraged.
