BIOL 6090: Advanced Biometry
Spring 2023
Theoretical foundations and practical application of statistics to the synthesis, representation and analysis of data sets from marine, environmental and biomedical sciences. Through homework sets, quizzes and the use of computer software applications, students will learn and apply a variety of statistical tests: contingency tables, t-tests, correlation, regression, and analysis of variance applications.
These analyses will be presented in the context of experimental design and hypothesis testing. Students will complete an independent data analysis project, using their own dataset(s).
