Statistical tests and statistical learning for omics data
This advanced statistics course that will include feature selection in statistical tests, clustering and statistical learning. Successful completion will be awarded with 1 ECTS.
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
Registration
Registration is closed.
Requirements
- Basic working knowledge of R
- Have a computer ready with a recent version of R (4.0 or later) and RStudio (1.2 or later) installed. Please have your computer set-up well before the start of the course.
