All subfields of science rely on data to answer scientific questions. This class prepares students to answer biological questions by introducing them to the major strategies for analyzing quantitative data in biology. This will include ways of characterizing a dataset (descriptive statistics) and ways to test biological hypotheses (univariate and bivariate statistical inference; multivariate analysis).
