DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF BIOLOGICAL STUDIES

ANSCI 865

Course Description

Experimental design and proper data analysis are critical processes for scientific research. Planning and performing research studies have statistical implications that influence how results are interpreted. Learn the fundamentals of generalized linear models, experimental design, and data analysis using common examples from biological studies.
