      Objectives of general skills

      • Develop and integrate a high degree of autonomy.
        • Pursue further training and develop new skills independently.

      UE's Learning outcomes

      To specialize students in biology in the manipulation of biological data through their initiation to various complementary concepts to biostatistics. This course supplements biostatistical concepts taught until now with various more advanced topics that are not normally seen in these courses: problem of floating-point calculation precision, best coding of data in relation with the current problem, how to realize reproducible analyses, reproducible pseudo-random generators, pre-sorting of the data with SQL commands. This course is partly modular in function of specific needs of students.

      UE Content

      Data management; databases; SQL queries; S language (software R); floating-point calculation; pseudo-random numbers generation; reproducible analysis; unit tests; data formats; optimization of calculation speed; optimization of RAM used; vectorized algorithms.

      Prior experience

      Advanced biostatistics.
