Course Details
• Introduction to Biostatistics: Basic concepts, terminology, and applications in crop physics. Descriptive statistics, data visualization, and probability theory.
• Experimental Design: Study designs, randomization, replication, and blocking in crop research. Factorial experiments, split-plot designs, and incomplete block designs.
• Probability Distributions: Discrete and continuous probability distributions. Normal, t, chi-square, and F distributions. Multivariate distributions and their properties.
• Estimation and Hypothesis Testing: Point estimation, interval estimation, and hypothesis testing. Type I and Type II errors, p-values, and confidence intervals.
• Regression Analysis: Simple and multiple linear regression. Assumptions, model selection, and diagnostic measures. Model building, interpretation, and validation.
• Analysis of Variance (ANOVA): One-way and two-way ANOVA, randomized complete block designs, and factorial experiments. Mixed models, repeated measures, and split-plot designs.
• Generalized Linear Models (GLMs): Extensions of linear models to non-normal response variables, such as binomial, Poisson, and negative binomial distributions. Logistic regression and log-linear models.
• Survival Analysis: Time-to-event data and censoring. Kaplan-Meier estimates, Cox proportional hazards models, and survival distributions.
• Multivariate Analysis: Principal component analysis, factor analysis, discriminant analysis, and canonical correlation. Multivariate regression and MANOVA.
