Spring 2011
BIOL 701
Likelihood methods in biology (2 credits)
We will cover the fundamentals of likelihood
based inference and demonstrate applications to ecology and evolution.
BIOL 153
Principles of Organismal Biology, Honors (4 credits)
See below for course description. |
Spring 2010
BIOL 701
Advanced statistical modeling for biosciences (3 credits)
We will cover some multivariate data analysis
approaches, parameter estimation (maximum likelihood approaches and the
like), some aspects of bayesian analysis, some simulation techniques
and a little stochastic modeling. We will make use of R and
students are encouraged to bring data sets for class projects. I
will provide some theoretical background but the emphasis will be on
relating data to models in an applied fashion. There will be no
required text but "Ecological models and data in R" by Ben Bolker and
"The ecological detective," by Marc Mangel would be good companion
texts. |
Fall 2009
BIOL 701
Systems Biology (1 credit)
This seminar introduces the basic
concepts of systems biology and provides the opportunity to become
acquainted with some of the quantitative approaches used to study gene
regulatory and metabolic networks. |
Spring 2009
BIOL 153
Principles of Organismal Biology, Honors (4 credits)
This course covers basic elements of plant and
animal morphology and physiology, principles of evolution, organismal
diversity and phylogeny, population biology, population genetics,
ecology, and behavior. Three hours of lecture and two hours of
laboratory per week. Prerequisite: BIOL150 or BIOL 151 and membership
in the University Honors Program or consent of instructor. |
