High-Dimensional Statistics with R
This course is intended for those who have a working knowledge of statistics and linear models with R and wish to learn high-dimensional statistical methods with R.
This is a short course aimed at familiarising learners with statistical and computational methods for the extremely high-dimensional data commonly found in biomedical and health sciences (e.g., gene expression, DNA methylation, health records). These datasets can be challenging to approach, as they often contain many more features than observations, and it can be difficult to distinguish meaningful patterns from natural underlying variability. To this end, we will introduce and explain a range of methods and approaches to disentangle these patterns from natural variability. After completion of this course, learners will be able to understand, apply, and critically analyse a broad range of statistical methods. In particular, we focus on providing a strong grounding in high-dimensional regression, dimensionality reduction, and clustering.

{% comment %} Collaborative Notes
If you want to use an Etherpad, go to
https://pad.carpentries.org/YYYY-MM-DD-site
where 'YYYY-MM-DD-site' is the identifier for your workshop, e.g., '2015-06-10-esu'.
Note we also have a CodiMD (the open-source version of HackMD) available at https://codimd.carpentries.org {% endcomment %} {% if page.collaborative_notes %}
We will use this collaborative document for chatting, taking notes, and sharing URLs and bits of code.
{% endif %}
{% comment %} SCHEDULE
Show the workshop's schedule.
Small changes to the schedule can be made by modifying the
schedule.html found in the _includes folder for your
workshop type (swc, lc, or dc). Edit the items and
times in the table to match your plans. You may also want to
change 'Day 1' and 'Day 2' to be actual dates or days of the
week.
For larger changes, a blank template for a 4-day workshop
(useful for online teaching for instance) can be found in
_includes/custom-schedule.html. Add the times, and what
you will be teaching to this file. You may also want to add
rows to the table if you wish to break down the schedule
further. To use this custom schedule here, replace the block
of code below the Schedule <h2> header below with
{% include custom-schedule.html %}.
{% endcomment %}
{% if site.carpentry == "swc" %} {% include swc/schedule.html %} {% elsif site.carpentry == "dc" %} {% include dc/schedule.html %} {% elsif site.carpentry == "lc" %} {% include lc/schedule.html %} {% elsif site.carpentry == "pilot" %}
The lesson taught in this workshop is being piloted and a precise schedule is yet to be established.
{% include custom-schedule.html %}
{% comment %} The lesson taught in this workshop is being piloted and a precise schedule is yet to be established. The workshop will include regular breaks. If you would like to know the timing of these breaks in advance, please contact the workshop organisers. For a list of lesson sections and estimated timings, [visit the lesson homepage]({{ site.lesson_site }}). Edit/replace the text above if you want to include a schedule table. See the contents of the _includes/custom-schedule.html file for an example of how one of these schedule tables is constructed. {% endcomment %} {% endif %}
{% comment %} SETUP
Delete irrelevant sections from the setup instructions. Each section is inside a 'div' without any classes to make the beginning and end easier to find.
This is the other place where people frequently make mistakes, so please preview your site before committing, and make sure to run 'tools/check' as well. {% endcomment %}
To participate in a {% if site.carpentry == "swc" %} Software Carpentry {% elsif site.carpentry == "dc" %} Data Carpentry {% elsif site.carpentry == "lc" %} Library Carpentry {% endif %} workshop, you will need access to software as described below. In addition, you will need an up-to-date web browser.
We maintain a list of common issues that occur during installation as a reference for instructors that may be useful on the Configuration Problems and Solutions wiki page.
{% comment %} For online workshops, the section below provides:
