This course compiles the lectures, tutorials, and materials of PLS205 taught by Daniel Runcie and focuses on implementing analyses in R. The goal of this course is to introduce graduate students in the biological sciences to the fundamental concepts and introductory statistical methods necessary to plan, conduct, and interpret experiments. It will be most accessible to students who have taken an introductory stats course (like PLS120 or STA 100.) The material is grouped into weekly blocks consisting of two lectures (1.5 hours each), one lab (1 hour), and one homework.
