Statistical Analysis of Microarray Data with R
This course will acquaint you with the process of microarray data mining from beginning to end. You will learn how to how to preprocess the data, estimate gene expression patterns, cluster genes to detect interesting gene expression patterns, and classify experiments (subjects) based on gene expression patterns. Illustrations of the statistical issues involved at the various stages of the analysis will use real data sets from DNA microarray experiments.
Tuition: $399 (6.25 CEUs)
Next dates available:
- October 22, 2010
Cluster Analysis
This course will teach you how to use various cluster analysis methods to identify possible clusters in multivariate data. Methods discussed include hierarchical clustering, k-means clustering, two-step clustering, and normal mixture models for continuous variables.
Tuition: $399 (5 CEUs)
Next dates available:
- November 05, 2010
Spatial Statistics With Geographic Information Systems
Spatial statistical analysis uses methods adapted from conventional statistics to address problems in which spatial location is the most important explanatory variable. This course will explain and give examples of the analysis that can be conducted in a geographic information system such as ArcGIS or Mapinfo.
Tuition: $399 (5 CEUs)
Next dates available:
- November 12, 2010
Missing Data Analysis
This course will cover the theory and practice of two modern methods of handling missing data: maximum likelihood and multiple imputation.
Tuition: $399 (5 CEUs)
Next dates available:
- November 19, 2010
Introduction to Support Vector Machines in R
This course begins by developing basic concepts such as hyperplanes, features spaces and kernels; then it covers the development of support vector machines (SVM's).
