Experimental Design and Statistics with Biological Examples

The course provides an introduction to how to design experiments from a statistical basis using analysis of variance. Hierarchical, factorial and more complex designs will be considered. In addition to lectures the course includes obligatory exercises where the students will use the statistical software S-plus.

On completion of the course the students should be familiar with how to make hierarchical and factorial experimental design. Students should also have knowledge of how to carry out analysis of variance using the statistical software S-plus.
