All teaching activities will be held in Croatian. However, foreign students in mixed groups will have the opportunity to attend additional office hours with the lecturer and teaching assistants in English to help master the course materials. Additionally, the lecturer will refer foreign students to the corresponding literature in English, as well as give them the possibility of taking the associated exams in English.

7. Analysis of variance.
8. Linear models for classification.
9. Methods of regularization of linear regression coefficients (ridge regression, LASSO, elastic net models)
10. Assessment and selection of the optimal model - resampling methods (bootstrap, cross-validation), variable selection methods.
11. Methods based on trees (regression and classification trees, bagging method, boosting method, Random Forest method)
12. Support vector machines

2. Analysis of distributions of variables in the statistical environment R. Functions for graphic analysis of samples.
3. Calculating confidence intervals. Hypothesis testing and errors in hypothesis testing (type I error and type II error). Power of the statistical test.
4. Comparisons of different types of Student's t-test (with respect to dependence of observations in samples, sample size and sample variance) in the R statistical environment.
5. Implementation of Fisher's test, Chi-square test and hypergeometric test in statistical environment R.
6. Analysis of the linear regression model. Interactions. Qualitative predictors. Transformation of non-linear regression models. Residual analysis.
7. Implementation of analysis of variance in the R statistical environment.
8. Comparison of different linear models for classification (logistic regression, linear discriminant analysis, quadratic discriminant analysis) in the R statistical environment.
9. Comparison of ridge regression, LASSO and elastic net models in the statistical environment R (glmnet package). Choosing the optimal lambda parameter.
10. Implementation of resampling methods in the statistical environment R (k-fold cross-validation, leave-one-out cross-validation).
11. Using tree-based methods in the R statistical environment (tree, gbm and randomForest packages).
12. Support vector machines in statistical environment R (e1071 package). Application of cross-validation to select optimal model parameters.
13. Application of the Hidden Markov model for the analysis of biological sequences in the R statistical environment.
