In this course, realistic research cases form the starting point for which we will try to find practical solutions. We will tackle research questions by designing tailor-made factorial experiments within the budget and lab constraints. Power analysis will be key to achieve this goal. Finally, we will analyse the expected output in a statistical sound manner, interpret the results and propose presentations.

Everything will be very practical and hands-on. Design and analysis happen in R, with R code being made available. After attending this course, you will be able to reason about you experiment and come up with a design and analysis that fits your situations best, rather than to settle for a suboptimal textbook solution.
