[WUSS 2024 Virtual Class. Introduction to Statistical Analysis using R Software. with Lida Gharibvand. April 2. 10am - 2pm Pacific. Learn more at WUSS.org.] <https://wuss.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ad153879d45d11498f339446c&id=a7a334c8dd&e=23b5f1504e>
Introduction to Statistical Analysis Using R Software
April 2, 2024  |  10am-2pm Pacific  |  $175/person

The objective of this course is for beginner and intermediate students to develop an overall understanding of how to use R software to analyze data in real-world applications. The students will first be introduced to statistics and critical thinking through foundational concepts such as types of data, quantitative and qualitative data with tables and graphs, normal distribution, Central Limit Theorem, sampling distribution and its use. Then, students will learn how to define a confidence interval, perform hypothesis testing, understand the difference between null and alternative hypotheses, Type I and Type II error, statistical significance, and clinical importance. Next topic will be the difference between the level of significance of a test and a p-value followed by how to use a p-value or critical value to determine statistical significance. The students will learn the important skill of how to use a confidence interval to determine statistical significance. The class will also provide practical knowledge so students can determine when to use a paired t-test and when to use an independent t-test or one way ANOVA using R. Finally, the course will discuss correlation and regression analysis using R software.

This course aims to equip beginner and intermediate students with practical knowledge of R software to analyze real-world datasets and use the power of data to improve the decision process.
