Refresh your understanding of fundamental statistical concepts and strengthen your data analysis skills in this interactive workshop. Using R, we’ll revisit key topics such as descriptive statistics, probability distributions, hypothesis testing and basic inferential techniques. Through guided exercises, you’ll learn how to apply these concepts effectively to interpret and analyze data with confidence.
This session is ideal for anyone who wants to reinforce their statistical foundation while gaining practical experience in R. While examples will be demonstrated in R, the approach is applicable for other statistical software, helping you approach data analysis with clarity and precision.
