Start Date between Sep 25 - July 26

The aim of the module is for students to understand methods of analysis that allow people to gain insights from complex data. The module covers the theoretical basis of a variety of approaches, placed into a practical context using different application domains.

The module aims to provide an understanding of the use of high-throughput biomolecular data generation methods. The emphasis will be on understanding methods and the data that they typically give. Techniques covered will include whole genome/exome sequencing, gene expression, RNA-seq and epigenetics, proteomics, chemical proteomics, high-throughput RNA biology, single-cell methods and metabolomics. Data analysis methods will be discussed but there will not be a strong emphasis on statistical methods that are covered in other modules.

The module provides a general introduction to statistical thinking and data analysis including probability rules and distributions, methods of estimation and hypotheses testing and present the basics of Bayesian inference.

Statistical learning is at the core of the modern world. Online advertising, automated vehicles, stock market trading, transport planning all use statistical models to learn from past data and make decisions about the future. Statistical learning is a way to rigorously identify patterns in data and to make quantitative predictions. It is how we translate data into knowledge.
