Introduction to modern statistics
R - 1 day
In this course, you’ll learn about two fundamental tools in statistical analysis: hypothesis tests and confidence intervals. We’ll also discuss important concepts like p-values, power, and sample size calculcations.
Classical statistical tests like the t-test, nonparametric tests and the chi-squared test are covered, along with modern computer-intensive methods like the bootstrap. The latter allows us to obtain p-values and confidence intervals without many of the constraints of traditional methods (such as requiring that the data follow a normal distribution), bringing your statistical toolbox up to the 21st century.
Course goals: To understand the basics of hypothesis testing and confidence intervals and be able to use R for running and computing common tests and intervals.
Prerequisites: Introduction to R or similar.
