Biology 300 Lecture Overheads for Spring 2012 (Irwin)
Note: These overheads will evolve as the course progresses. I do my best to post them as early as possible, using material presented in previous years. I often make a number of last-minute changes to lectures, so there will be some differences between these PDF files and the material actually presented in lecture. If this is disconcerting to you, please disregard these files and take your own lecture notes.
Note that the Chapters below refer to those in the textbook (Analysis of Biological Data, by Whitlock & Schluter). It is best to read each chapter just before we cover it in lecture.
Chapter 1: Intoduction to statistics
Chapter 4: Estimating with uncertainty
