About

Statistics with R Study Group will explore Irizarry & Love’s Data Analysis for the Life Sciences. This book starts with one of the most critical areas in statistics and in the life sciences: statistical inference. Other topics include exploratory data analysis, matrix algebra, statistical models, and distance and dimension reduction.

This study group is aimed at graduate students and other researchers who would like to learn more about statistics for high-throughput data. Study group participants can meet other group members in person at the Jackson Laboratory campuses in Bar Harbor or Farmington or can attend remotely via WebEx.

Study group sessions feature problem-solving and challenges in a cooperative setting. Rather than have an instructor lead us through the book, we’ll study chapters on our own and meet for one hour to solve the exercises together. Statistics with R Study Group will meet weekly from 11am to 12pm on Tuesdays from January 14 to March 3.

Prerequisite: Basic competence with the R programming language.
