Statistical tests and statistical learning for omics data

Learning objectives:

  • Obtaining an overview of current computational systems biology approaches for omics data analysis
  • Understanding the principles behind data pre-processing, quality control and statistical analysis of large-scale biological datasets
  • Obtaining experience in higher-level omics analysis via pathway and network analyses
  • Learning the basics of machine learning analyses for omics sample clustering and classification
