Statistics 101: Learning "R"

Statistics 101: R, by LKC Research Committee and LKC Graduate Student's Club

For all students doing research, do sign up for this lesson on R, a powerful statistical tool that is free for use.

R is a piece of powerful statistical software that is often used in research, and can be difficult to pick up alone; Nevin from GSC will be teaching how to use it at a medical student level!

Overview:

1. Basic introduction to R (installation/data types in R)
2. Reading in data files (from excel/txt files)
3. Basic Statistics (Finding Variance/Covariance/Correlation)
4. Performing T tests using R (i.e. before drug treatment vs after treatment etc)
5. Creating Linear models and their interpretation
6. Performing ANOVA tests in R
7. Creating figures from these data for publications / reports.

During the lesson, there will be opportunities for students to conduct the analysis with sample data (hands-on!). This will be sent via email.
