Sabermetrics at Berkeley

By Tangotiger, 12:50 PM

Studying Baseball Statistics to Learn Bioinformatics , with long-time Fanhome resident James Fraser.

This course will teach methods and theory for computational analysis of biological datasets through examples using baseball statistics. Students will learn to program in perl, how to use databases, and how to form and test scientific hypotheses with large datasets. The methods to answer questions such as “how significant is the similarity between two genes?” and “how significant is a sacrifice bunt?” will be revealed to be quite similar. Students will leave the course with a greater appreciation for baseball, biology and the parallels between the two.
