Biology 305: Biostatistics
Preface
Welcome to Biology 305 at the University of Nebraska at Kearney!
In this class, you will learn:
- The basics of study design, the importance of understanding your research situation before embarking on a full study, and practice creating research frameworks based on different scenarios.
- The basics of data analysis, including understanding what kind of variables are being collected, why understanding variable types are important, and basic tests to understand univariate distributions.
- Basic multivariate statistics, including ANOVA, correlation, and regression, for comparing multiple different groups.
- The basics of coding and working in R for performing statistical analyses.
This site will help you navigate different homework assignments to perform the necessary R tests. Furthermore, this GitHub repository contains most of the homework dataframes, so you will not have to manually enter assignments if you use R to complete some of your assignments.
Welcome to class!
