Short courses and workshops I have prepared and taught

Experimental design and analysis of variance using R (2016)

A two day course which introduces the principals of experimental design and analysis of experiments with practical examples using R. This course is taught to post-graduates and staff at the University of St Andrews.

Introduction to simple designs and their analysis (2015)

A half day course that introduces simple designs such as CRD, RCBD and split plot: why design is important, how to generate and analyse them in R using relevant examples. Aimed at scientists.

Introduction to spatial designs for field trials and their analysis (2015)

A half day course that introduces spatial designs such as unreplicated, partially replicated and row-column designs: why design is important, how to generate and analyse them in R and ASReml. Aimed at scientists.

Association mapping in R (2015)

A half day course that introduces Association mapping with interactive lectures and practical sessions so that by the end of the course participants should feel confident in performing an Association mapping analysis on their own data using GAPIT. Aimed at scientists.

Introduction to Medical Statistics (2008-2010)

A series of one hour interactive lectures/workshops for clinical trials departmental staff with little or no experience of statistics. These included data cleaning, introduction to randomised control trials, means and standard deviation, p-values and confidence intervals and the principles of the analysis of randomised control trials. Aimed at wide audience.
