Theme: Applied Statistics
7 matching courses
This week-long course is aimed at people with little or no experience using statistical analyses in research. It introduces participants to core concepts in statistics and experimental design, aimed at ensuring that the resulting data is able to address the research question using appropriate statistical methods.
The interactive course gives participants a hands-on, applied foundation in statistical data analysis and experimental design. Group exercises and discussions are combined with short lectures that introduce key theoretical concepts. Computational methods are used throughout the course, using the R programming language. Formative assessment exercises allow participants to test their understanding throughout the course and encourage questions and critical thinking.
By the end of the course participants will be able to critically evaluate and design effective research questions, linking experimental design concepts to subsequent statistical analyses. It will allow participants to make informed decisions on which statistical tests are most appropriate to their research questions. The course will provide a solid grounding for further development of applied statistical competencies.
As a follow-up of this course, we run an extra optional session on 25 April. This is an applied, hands-on session where you can bring your own data and we provide direct support to your analysis. This is exclusively available to participants on this course. |

This award winning course is intended to provide a strong foundation in practical statistics and data analysis using the R software environment. The underlying philosophy of the course is to treat statistics as a practical skill rather than as a theoretical subject and as such the course focuses on methods for addressing real-life issues in the biological sciences.
There are three core goals for this course:
- Use R confidently for statistics and data analysis
- Be able to analyse datasets using standard statistical techniques
- Know which tests are and are not appropriate
R is an open source programming language so all of the software we will use in the course is free.
In this course, we explore classical statistical analysis techniques starting with simple hypothesis testing and building up to linear models and power analyses. The focus of the course is on practical implementation of these techniques and developing robust statistical analysis skills rather than on the underlying statistical theory.
After the course you should feel confident to be able to select and implement common statistical techniques using R and moreover know when, and when not, to apply these techniques.
If you do not have a University of Cambridge Raven account please book or register your interest here.

This one-day course is primarily aimed at life science researchers, but covers many topics that are applicable to other fields. It combines key theoretical knowledge with practical application, which will aid researchers in designing effective experiments. The focus throughout the course is to link experimental design to a clear analysis strategy. This ensures that the collected data will be suitable for statistical analysis. During this course, we cover:
- Practices in experimental design that lead to high quality research
- Common design pitfalls, and how to avoid or mitigate them
- A brief introduction to more advanced analysis techniques for experiments with unusual or complex designs
Topics included in the course include: crafting a good research question, operationalising variables effectively, identifying and dealing with confounding variables and pseudoreplication, and practical tips for power analysis and piloting.
The course is delivered via a mix of lectures, group discussion and worked examples.

Generalised linear models are the kind of models we would use if we had to deal with non-continuous response variables. For example, this happens if you have count data or a binary outcome.
This course aims to introduce generalised linear models, using the R software environment. Similar to Core statistics using R this course addresses the practical aspects of using these models, so you can explore real-life issues in the biological sciences. The Generalised linear models using R course builds heavily on the knowledge gained in the core statistics sessions, which means that the Core statistics using R course is a firm prerequisite for joining.
There are several aims to this course:
1. Be able to distinguish between linear models and generalised linear models
2. Analyse binary outcome and count data using R
3. Critically assess model fit
R is an open-source programming language so all of the software we will use in the course is free. We will be using the R Studio interface throughout the course. Most of the code will be focussed around the tidyverse and tidymodels packages, so a basic understanding of the tidyverse syntax is essential.

This course is aimed to provide the tools to conduct Bayesian inference in common situations.
We will be contrasting Bayesian Inference with classical hypothesis testing, covering conjugate distributions and credible intervals. We will also look at modern computational methods such as MCMC approaches using the BUGS library.

This course gives an introduction to linear mixed effects models, also called multi-level models or hierarchical models, for the purposes of using them in your own research or studies.
We emphasise the practical skills and key concepts needed to work with these models, using applied examples and real datasets.
After completing the course, you should have:
- A conceptual understanding of what mixed effects models are, and when they should be used
- Familiarity with fitting and interpreting mixed effects models using the lme4 package in R
Please note that this course builds on knowledge of linear modelling, therefore should not be considered a general introduction to statistical modelling.
