C&S BIO 100Data Science and Statistics for Life Scientists
Computational and Systems Biology · 4 units · Undergraduate upper division (100-199)
Modern statistics and data science study that builds competency in computational data modeling and analysis. Designed for Computational and Systems Biology majors. Interdisciplinary topics integrate data-driven statistical and computational modeling, and resampling methods for understanding and modeling data. Key topics include advanced data visualization, simple linear regression, clustering, classification, and dimensionality reduction techniques, the same principles and techniques that are the building blocks of machine learning. Study is modular, with opportunities for peer collaboration and proposal writing components. Acquired knowledge and skills may immediately be applied in research or industry settings.
