10 (% style="color: rgb(0,51,102);" %)♦ (% style="color: rgb(0,0,0);" %)5-10 cr, intermediate / advanced studies.
11 ♦ The course is suitable for students having knowledge from (at least) (% style="color: rgb(0, 51, 102); color: rgb(0, 0, 0)" %)basic courses on probability and statistical inference(% style="color: rgb(0,51,102);" %).   //[[Biometry and bioinformatics I>>url:http://wiki.helsinki.fi/display/mathstatKurssit/Biometry+and+bioinformatics+I%2C+fall+2013||shape="rect"]]// and //[[II>>url:http://wiki.helsinki.fi/display/mathstatKurssit/Biometry+and+bioinformatics+II%2C+fall+2013||shape="rect"]]//  (% style="color: rgb(0, 51, 102); color: rgb(0, 0, 0)" %)are recommended, but not absolutely necessary.(% style="color: rgb(0,51,102);" %)
12 ♦ (% style="color: rgb(0, 51, 102); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 51, 102); color: rgb(0, 0, 0)" %)A strong recommendation is to take this course (at least the beginner´s part I, if you are not familiar with R): //[[(% style="color: rgb(0, 51, 102); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 51, 102); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0)" %)Statistical software tools I-II>>url:http://wiki.helsinki.fi/display/mathstatKurssit/Statistical+software+tools%2C+fall+2013||rel="nofollow" shape="rect" class="external-link"]]//(%%) as the weeks 5-7 in //BB_III// program is very much based on R-software. (% style="color: rgb(0, 51, 102); color: rgb(0, 0, 0)" %)
13 ♦ (% style="color: rgb(0, 51, 102); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 51, 102); color: rgb(0, 0, 0)" %)The first 5cr part in II-teaching period is compulsory in Bioinformatics Master´s Programme studies.
14 (% style="color: rgb(0, 51, 102); color: rgb(0, 0, 0)" %)♦ Statistics students, planning orientation to specialization area  [[Biometry and bioinformatics>>url:http://wiki.helsinki.fi/display/biometry/Home||shape="rect"]] (or any other specialization area, for collecting optional intermediate or advanced study credits): You can take the first part (5cr, II period) in your second study year, if you have taken //[[Data-analyysi R-ohjelmistolla>>url:http://wiki.helsinki.fi/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=87949792||shape="rect"]]//  during your first study year. If you plan to take also the III period part (additional 5cr), then the  recommendation is that you take the //[[Bayes-päättely>>url:http://wiki.helsinki.fi/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=87949773||shape="rect"]]// //-//course in parallel (Note that the link goes to spring 2013 version so that you can get familiar with the existing material, see course moodle behind the link. In spring 2014 the Bayes-course course follows the same time schedule. Note also that although the Bayes-course will be lectured in Finnish, all material and exercises will be in English.)
15 ♦ If you are not familiar with R-software/programming, you can take this //BB_III// course program from the weeks 1-4 and get 3cr from the course (i.e. you skip weeks 5-7 and take an exam which is not based on those  week´s content). There will also be a possibility to skip weeks 5-7, but - upon negotiations - do  something extra based on weeks 1-4 for extending the 3cr -> 5cr.
16 ♦ (% style="color: rgb(0,0,0);" %)The general topic of this course is statistical genetics. If you have taken previously the course //57734 Statistical genetics//, you can take 4 cr from the Autumn II period part of the course (one assignment set will be the same as in //57734//) and 5 cr from the Spring III period part which does not overlap with the previous Statistical genetics course.

24
25 (% style="color: rgb(0,0,0);" %)Course sessions start with ~~2 hour lecture/tutorial, and continue with practical working: class and lecturer´s time for tutoring are available whole evening (till 19.45 when the classroom is closed), but it may not be necessary to stay in class so long.
26 (% style="color: rgb(0,51,102);" %)__//The session 5.11 in an exception: whole ~~6 h session will be lecturing.//__
27
28 The course consists of lectures, discussions, tutorials during computer sessions, assignments initiated during computer sessions and completed during student´s own, additional, time.
29
30 The spirit of the course is  learning by doing (data-analysis, exercises by pen-and-paper, simulations) and reading scientific papers, rather than listening lectures.
