This course presents the principles of obtaining and analyzing representative quantitative data in biology, with focus on elementary (univariate) statistical methods. Covered procedures include the t-test, ANOVA, analysis of contingency tables, correlation methods, and ordinary least-squares linear regression analysis. Wherever appropriate, rank-based alternatives to 'classical' frequentist test approaches are presented for comparison.
