The objective of this course is to show students how statistics is used in practice to answer a specific question, by introducing a series of important model-based approaches.
The students will learn to select and use appropriate statistical methodologies and acquire solid and practical skills by working-out examples on real-world data sets from various areas including medicine, genomics, ecology, and others.
All analyses will be conducted with the R software, possibly with interfacing to Python. No strong knwoledge neither of R nor Python programming is required (only basic scripting).
Course Evaluation: 2 individual homework assignements + a final exam/project
Course Language: French with all material in English
