Course Enrolment Limitations

The course is offered to students of any study field.
The capacity limit for the course is 30 student(s).
Current registration and enrolment status: enrolled: 0/30, only registered: 0/30, only registered with preference (fields directly associated with the programme): 0/30

Course objectives

At the end of the course students will be able to pre-process and treat the large-scale high-dimensional data in R, know and be able to use the most common R functions and packages for multivariate analysis and master the graphical representation of the results, both at the publication level.

Syllabus

• 1. Short introduction to R - installation, libraries, basic data types and structures, creating functions

• b) multiple hypothesis testing correction
• 5. Multivariate statistical methods in R - packages
• 6. Bioconductor – the open source and open development software project for the analysis and comprehension of genomic data
• 7. R graphics
• a) Principles of creating and saving graphs in R
• b) simple graphics – scatterplot, histogram, boxplot...
• c) graph modification – color and size adjustment, graph annotation, multiple graphs display
• d) advanced graphics – heatmaps, composed graphs, functions grid and lattice

Teaching methods

Education is performed in a block of simultaenous lectures in presentation and exercises. The basics and theory are explained in presentation and the students apply the acquired knowledge in R simultaneously after each topic in the presentation. The number of students in the course must not exceed the number of available computers (student notebooks included). Students are motivated to propose and discuss their own algorithmic solutions to particular problems.

Assessment methods

The final exam is practical - students have to analyse the example data together with the description and reasoning of particular steps of the analysis and applied functions.
