1. Wrapping up

Congratulations! You've reached the end of the course!

2. Congratulations!

We've come a long way in preparation for the job interview. Let's do a quick recap of what we've covered in the course.

3. Chapter 1

In chapter 1, we focused on probability distributions. We started with discrete distributions, moving to continuous distributions, and ended with the central limit theorem.

4. Chapter 2

In chapter 2, we reviewed exploratory data analysis. We discussed descriptive statistics, categorical data, time-dependent data, and principal component analysis.

5. Chapter 3

Chapter 3 was all about statistical tests. We looked at normality tests, inference for a mean, comparing two means, and comparing many means with ANOVA.

6. Chapter 4

In the final chapter of the course, we went over covariance and correlation, linear and logistic regression models, and model evaluation. It's been quite a ride! Again, congratulations on excellent preparation before your interview!

7. Best of luck!

Other than reviewing statistical concepts, spend some time getting to know the company you are applying for. Once again, congratulations on finishing the course, and I wish you the best of luck during your interview.

March confidently into your job interview after reviewing confidence intervals. We'll review the t-test, ANOVA, and normality tests to prepare you for statistics-based coding questions.

Exercise 1: Normality tests Exercise 2: Shapiro-Wilk test Exercise 3: Q-Q plot Exercise 4: Inference for a mean Exercise 5: Confidence interval Exercise 6: One-sample t-test Exercise 7: Comparing two means Exercise 8: Two-sample t-test Exercise 9: Paired test Exercise 10: ANOVA Exercise 11: Comparing groups Exercise 12: ANOVA for plant growth

Is your potential employer planning to test your R skills? Make sure you’re prepared and practice model evaluation beforehand. In this chapter, we will fit and evaluate linear and logistic regression models using various biomedical datasets. By the end of this chapter, you’ll be fully prepared to answer any question the interviewer throws your way!
