Data Analytics 1: Introduction to Statistics

Location: University of Birmingham

This course was originally for the 23/24th of March, but due to scheduling conflicts, it has been moved to the 13th/14th of April. Apologies for the inconvenience.

All Attendees: Please bring your own laptop to this course

This two-day course will cover the fundamentals of statistics, with a focus on practically implementing the methods as well as understanding why they work. This course applies the mathematical principles that underpin these statistical methods to real-world bioprocessing data and relates this to how we determine significant differences in both academic experiments and industrial R&D.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Non-attendance policy:

We run our courses with funding from UK Government Department of Science, Innovation and Technology. We waive attendance fees in full for University of Birmingham staff and students; nevertheless, these spaces are highly valuable and should be treated as such. No-shows without prior cancellation are unacceptable, waste spaces and are inconsiderate to trainers. Therefore you must ensure you have permission from your PI/line manager to attend this course and in the event that you do not attend we will charge a non-attendance fee.
