A Gentle Introduction to Statistics in R <!-- tabsets A Gentle Introduction to Statistics in R Tom February 7, 2018 Introduction After a great discussion started by Jesse Maegan ( @kiersi ) on Twitter, I decided to post a workthrough of some (altered) mouse behavior data. These data correspond to motor function testing in mice via the rotarod, a semi-automated apparatus that tests the ability of the mouse to balance and maintain position on spinning cylinder. The time to fall from the cylinder onto a well-padded surface is the measure of interest, where a longer time to fall indicates better balance and better performance! The mice will be tested across at least 8 timepoints, but we are primarily interested in their peak performance at their LAST session. We will be working through loading, plotting, analyzing, and saving the outputs through the tidyverse, an “opinionated collection of R packages” designed for data ...
