Biomedical research entails the inference of reliable knowledge from incomplete, noisy data. The ability to reason effectively in the midst of such uncertainty is a key component of success in the field. Students in FC721 will learn both judgment and technique. Judgment will be developed through discussion of key concepts in statistics while developing sound intuition through in-lecture short exercises. Technical skill will be acquired in the statistical computing language R using the powerful user interface R Studio. Topics covered will include Exploratory Data Analysis, estimation, probability, hypothesis testing, statistical modeling (linear regression, Logistic regression, non-linear regression), experimental design, and reproducibility. 4 cr, Fall sem
