Beyond the T-Test: A Practical Guide to Coding and Statistics for Large-Scale Datasets
July 9th, 10th, and 11th

This hands-on workshop is designed to guide you through the challenges of analyzing complex data, including small sample sizes and large number of variables, and missing values. Whether you're working with biomarkers, metabolites, proteins, or large non-biological datasets, you'll gain practical skills to improve the reliability and interpretability of your findings. We’ll begin with an introduction to core statistical concepts, walking through traditional approaches like t-tests and ANOVA, and compare them to more advanced methods—such as limma, LASSO, and sPLS-DA—that are better suited for large and complex datasets. No prior experience in statistics is required!

All workshop materials will be provided to participants.

Total cost [all 3 days] of the workshop is $300 total per individual for UConn Affiliates (Previously $450). Inquire about external rates. If you cannot attend all 3 days please contact us (timothy.e.moore@uconn.edu).
