Week 6: Hitting the Books

Hello friends!

This week was not super interesting in terms of execution, but there were some very interesting things learned in preparation for next week.

Handbook of Biological Statistics:

My advisor shared with me a very nice handbook for explaining concepts in biological statistics, including many statistical tests and methods. It was initially very difficult learning statistics, and this book helped a lot. Check it out here: https://www.biostathandbook.com/index.html

Learning the statistics here will be very important in implementing them in code. We’ll be using SciPy’s statistical functions.

Flask:

Flask is a Python web development framework which is great for small to medium projects such as this one. Since I’m new to this framework, I have been reading and looking at tutorials to get ready for the real work, which begins next week.

Thanks for reading!
