Contents
Selected topics from statistical bioinformatics that are required for calculations in the natural sciences, in particular from the field of biological data processing (e.g. alignments, encoding), as well as methods from the fields of statistics (e.g. statistical tests, evaluation) and static learning (e.g. Random Forests). The methods are presented in the lecture. During the exercise, their application will be practiced using concrete case studies. In the practical course a project is worked out independently with the help of the presented methods.
Qualification Goals
The students are familiar with the most important methods from statistical bioinformatics that are required for calculations in the natural sciences. They have understood these methods and are able to select, execute and implement suitable procedures for concrete case studies.
Prerequisites
Translation is missing. Here is the German original:
Keine. Empfohlen werden die Kompetenzen, die in den Modulen Einführung in die Bioinformatik sowie Grundlagen der Statistik vermittelt werden.
Applicability
The module can be attended at FB12 in study program(s)
- B.Sc. Computer Science
- M.Sc. Data Science
- M.Sc. Computer Science
When studying M.Sc. Computer Science, this module can be attended in the study area Specialization Modules in Computer Science.
The module can also be used in other study programs (export module).
Die Wahlmöglichkeit des Moduls ist dadurch beschränkt, dass es der Praktischen Computer Science zugeordnet ist.
