BIN 610 - Advanced Statistics and Data Visualization

This course teaches the fundamentals of effective data visualization and statistical reporting while further exploring advanced statistical analysis techniques. As a project-based course, students will synthesize their knowledge from previous courses to design appropriate data analysis for bioinformatic tasks and write programs in R to run the analysis. Students will use R libraries and web applications, like Shiny, to develop effective and interactive visualizations that clearly convey the results of their analysis. Methods of effective oral presentation will also be discussed.
