Examples of experimental data with the deviations that our key principles predict are shown in Fig. 2. While our real-world examples are often related to biology (mostly because of the great availability of the underlying data, and because of the greater simplicity of the examples), all ...
In your courses you will learn core concepts such as statistics, programming languages (Python/R), data manipulation, and visualization. Along the way, your mentor will provide clarity, resources, and examples to boost your understanding.
In particular, examples are intended to enable the reader to take a critical look at the appropriateness of the geometrically motivated concepts. Many examples, exercises with detailed solutions. Mathematically rigorous, but exaggerate formalism is avoided. For students of Mathematics, Statistics, ...
One of the nice things about this course is that it's specifically focused on providing real-world examples of using statistics, and even uses actual studies and figures to provide examples. Statistics: Methods and Applications [Broken URL Removed] (StatSoft) ...
