Course description
The course is intended to enable students to understand the fundamental way of thinking and methodology of biostatistical techniques, appropriately analyze information contained in data obtained from biome and evaluate the significance of bio-experimental data. More specifically, they will be taught how to prepare and read frequency analysis charts for data, which constitute the basis of practical statistical analyses frequently used in biological experiments, and about averages, variances, standard deviations, standard errors, coefficients of variation, analysis of variance, hypothesis testing, correlation, linear regression analysis, multiple regression analysis and curvilinear regression analysis.
