Lecture 11 The Importance of Data Representation
ALVIN THONG-JUAK KHO: Transforming data, as well as modeling and genomics. It's a very broad category. And I'm sure that in the other, lectures the people who are giving them have touched on several aspects of these same topics, as well. The lecture outline is as follows. The first thing we'll do is to go through two very prototypical study designs, one of which is a two-way comparison which occurs all the time in studies. The second one is the time series, or a dosage study. The idea being that there is a one parameter in the study that moves on, progresses, and you are making measurements alongside that one parameter. And finally, we get to the topic of data representation itself, properly. We'll talking about what it is, what it means to go from a measurement device to the spreadsheet, because in order to do analysis, we must somehow end up in the world of numbers. So how does that mapping actually happen? We'll touch on it very little. Then we talk...
