Contents: R is a widely used tool for analysing data in biology. Therefore it is important to learn it. R is a free statistics software and can be downloaded from www.r-project.org. In the beginning of the course, we become familiar with R by typing in some simple commands. Then we learn how to simulate data and how to apply standard statistical tests.
