MSc Geobiology and Paleobiology P5 - Data analysis

Theoretical and practical background and application of different statistical analyses to geobiological and paleobiological data matrices.

At the end of the module students will be able to understand and apply statistical methods to geobiological and paleobiological datasets. They will be able to design experiments in an adequate manner and to analyse the data derived from them.
Students will be capable of using an statistical programming environment (e.g. R) to analyse data matrices and produce publication quality graphics describing these data. In addition, they will be capable of creating repositories to store data and scripts, and to use advanced typesetting systems (e.g. markdown, latex) to present their results.
