Prerequisites

The prerequisite(s) for this Teaching Unit (Unité d’enseignement – UE) for the programmes/courses that offer this Teaching Unit are specified at the end of this sheet.
Main themes
his course discusses advanced statistical inference methods for the analysis of biological data: generalized linear models. The analysis of variance and simple linear regression models (LBIO1283) will be extended to models including (1) multiple explanatory variables, (2) continuous and discrete explanatory variables, (3) fixed and random explanatory variables, and (4) response variables with non-normal distributions.
The practical work will allow a practical implementation using the R software.
Aims

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :

1 By the end of this course, students will be able to implement the analysis of complex data sets using linear models and to interpret the results with an awareness of the possible limitations to inference posed by the data and/or compliance with the conditions of statistical analysis.
