Innovation in diverse scientific contexts, from livestock experiments to analysis of Martian soils, relies on statistics. Statistical methods are used universally to better understand the importance of observations and experiments, and to help us to investigate and explain the ways complex systems work. This subject offers you an opportunity to develop an introductory understanding of the fundamentals of statistics – invaluable whether you are interested in the life, environmental or physical sciences. Developing your statistical literacy through a combination of theory and hands-on exercises using statistical computing, you will learn how to present and interpret data for a common set of statistical methods.
Topics include exploratory data analysis, randomness associated with experimental data, statistical modelling, sampling, probability, regression, analysis of variance, and tests of significance.
