This course examines the totality of issues related to data collection, management and analysis for biologists: from the development of hypotheses, the design of experiments, measurement and sampling, to statistical analyses and final publication of results in formats acceptable for scientific reports and papers. Emphasis will be placed on the application of statistical methods using statistical software rather than theory, and stress the practical aspects of biostatistics. Prerequisites BI296; MA241 or PS296 are recommended. Exclusions BI396L, HS324. Notes 3 lecture hours
