Independent Study to prepare for workshop

Data Analysis 1: Core

1. 📖 Read Understanding file systems. Approximately 15 - 20 minutes. This is revision of some stage 1 core concepts. It covers file types, filesystems. working directories and paths. You may feel completely confident with them but many students will benefit from a refresher.

2. 📖 Read RStudio Projects. Section 7.1 only. Approximately 5 - 10 minutes. This is revision but part of the assessment requires that you use an RStudio project so if you aren’t sure you are using them, you might want to check.

Entirely optionally, you might want to review some other stage 1 content. You can access these through the past VLE sites but you might find it helpful to use my latest versions because I have improved them, there is no 2FA and the sites are searchable.

Stage 1

• Data Analysis in R for Becoming a Bioscientist 1.Core concepts about scientific computing, types of variable, the role of variables in analysis and how to use RStudio to organise analysis and import, summarise and plot data.

• Data Analysis in R for Becoming a Bioscientist 2. The logic of hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, what is meant by a statistical model, two-sample tests and one- and two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).
