Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
- In the field of biological sciences and particularly in the field of the biology of organisms and ecology, possess highly specialised and integrated knowledge and a wide range of skills adding to those covered in the Bachelor's programme in biological sciences.
- Apply scientific methodology.
- Demonstrate thoroughness, independence, creativity, intellectual honesty, and ethical values.
Learning Outcomes of UE
To be able to analyze correctly biological data with time-dependencies, to fit a nonlinear model (cinetic curve, growth model, dose-response curve, etc.) and to find useful information in a large dataset using data mining tools.
Content of UE
Space-time series; machine learning; random forest; discriminant analysis; nonlinear regression; growth model; doe-response curve; Von Bertallanffy; Richards; Weibull; Gompertz; R software.
Prior Experience
General uni- and multivariate statistics.
