LIFESCI 40 · LS 40Statistics of Biological Systems
Life Sciences · 5 units · Undergraduate lower division (0-99)
Designed for life sciences students. Introduction to statistics with emphasis on computer simulation of chance probabilities as replacement for traditional formula-based approach. Simulations allow for deeper understanding of statistical concepts, and are applicable to wider class of distributions and estimators. Students learn simple programming language to carry out statistical simulations, and apply them to classic problems of elementary statistics.
