Abstract:
|
Being a statistician in a life science company requires continuing collaboration with life scientists. Life scientists have underlying hypothesis and use data to test these hypotheses. As a statistician, I am trying to analyze data in such way that a nonstatistician would understand ideas of the data analysis. Often, more complex statistical methods are needed to build high-quality models. How to explain these complex models to life scientists so they have enough understanding to trust the analysis?
