What does researcher want of statistics?
1. How variable it is?2. Does “my pet thing” work?3. Why do the things differ?4. Why does it fail from time to
time?5. Why patients have different
fate and where is the hope for them?
6. What would the outcome of a perturbation?
“I had a fun and get it in addition to my cool microscope images!”“I have done a statistical analysis of my results and now give me my PhD, pleeeease!..”
Generally speaking, all the statistics is about finding relations between variables

Basic concepts to understand• Variability• Variable• Relation• Signal vs. noise• Factor vs. response (outcome), independent vs.
dependent variables• Statistical test• Null hypothesis• Power• Experimental design• Distribution

• Variance: Var = Sum(deviation from mean)2
• Standard deviation: SD = Square root from Var
• Skewness: deviation of the distribution from symmetry
• Kurtosis: “peakedness” of the distribution
• Standard error: e.g. SE = SD / square root from N

Analysis of correlations

• Simple linear correlation (Pearson r):
r = Mean(CoVar) / (StDev(X) x StDev(Y))
CoVar = (Deviation Xi from mean X) x (Deviation Yi from mean Y)

• How to interpret the values of correlations– Positive: the higher X, the higher Y– Negative: the higher X, the lower Y– ~0: no relationConfidence:– |r| > 0.7: strong– 0.25 < |r| < 0.7: medium– |r| < 0.25: weak

Causality
There is no way to establish from a correlation which variable affects which.
It is just about a relation.
