Multivariate Statistics for Agricultural and Life Sciences
Graduate Level: Fall Semester
Course Description: This course provides students with a conceptual and practical understanding of the application of multivariate statistics in the life sciences. This course consists of a one period lecture and a two period computer lab (which may also contain a lecture) where students will put to use the techniques learned in lecture using R, the open source language for statistical computing and graphics. The prerequisites are an introductory statistics course and some experience with the R language (although the latter is not strictly necessary).
