Prerequisite
This course will be held in English. It has been designed for scientists whose aim is not to become statisticians but who feel the need to analyze the data themselves. It is therefore addressed to practitioners who are confronted with the analysis of data in marketing, surveys, ecology, biology, geography, etc.
An undergraduate level is quite sufficient to capture all the concepts introduced.
Basic knowledges in statistics are necessary, such as: correlation coefficient, chi-squared test, one-way ANOVA.
On the sofware side, an introduction to the R language is sufficient, at least at first.

Editor
The Agrocampus Rennes (in French called in full École nationale supérieure agronomique de Rennes, meaning "Higher Institution for agricultural sciences of Rennes") was a French grande école created in 1849, training students mostly in the agronomy and life sciences fields.
In 2008, Agrocampus Rennes was merged with Institut National d'Horticulture et de Paysage, another agricultural sciences school located in western France, to create Agrocampus Ouest.
Platform
France Université Numérique is the broadcaster of the online courses of French higher education institutions and their partners.
It operates several platforms of diffusion, of which the best known, FUN MOOC, is the first French-speaking academic platform worldwide. Thanks to many partner institutions, this platform offers a vast catalog of courses enriched daily with various themes and current events.
