Course Enrolment Limitations

The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.

fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with

• Human Biology (programme PřF, N-BCL)
• Special Biology (programme PřF, N-EXB, specialization Antropobiology and Antropogenetics)

Course objectives

Students will get acquainted with basic statistical methods for evaluation of experimental data in human biology and will learn to use them on real data. After completing the course, they will be able to perform basic statistical analysis of experimental data in R software.

Learning outcomes

Student will be able to:
- to choose appropriate statistical methods for evaluating specific experimental data in human biology;
- statistically evaluate the data in the statistical program R with the use of basic statistical methods
- interpret the results of statistical evaluation of the data
- use statistical software R

Syllabus
