Since academic year 2015/16 is the course scheduled in SIS as MB120C16.
R is nowadays probably the most powerful tool for statistics of all types. There are plenty of modules available for work with molecular data. Those will be introduced during the course. Previous knowledge of R is useful, but not necessary. Course will be taught from January 14 to 16, 2015 from 9 AM to about 5 PM at the Department of Botany, Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague in classroom "Krajinova posluchárna" (B14, 2nd mezzanine on the end of the corridor; Wednesday and Thursday) and in classroom "posluchárna OŽP" (B12, 1st mezzanine on the end of the corridor on right side; Friday).
Presentation with test data is available
