Présentation
This five weeks graduate level course will give participants basic skills and hands-on training in biostatistics. It will cover all the steps of an analysis workflow : design, collection, curation, hypothesis testing and data mining. The course can be divided into four different topics whose practice is mandatory for those seeking to implement a relevant analysis workflow.
