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

None. The competences taught in the following modules are recommended: Introduction to Bioinformatics, Introduction to Statistics.
