Description
The analysis of collected data is an inevitable part of almost any medical research project. Consequently, knowledge of and insight in the basic principles of data-analysis are essential for medical researchers. This course, Biostatistics I: basic principles, is designed to teach classical and basic statistical techniques for the analysis of medical research data. The course comprises lectures as well as computer practicals, in which students will apply the widely used statistical software packages SPSS and/or R to work through exercises.
In this course, which lasts one week, basic applications of biostatistics will be introduced, including descriptive statistics, general principles of statistical hypothesis testing, statistical inferences on means and proportions, and interval estimates for association measures.
During the lectures, time will be spent on practical examples and exercises. During the practicals, examples of SPSS- and R-programmes and -output will be covered in relation to the topics that will be discussed.
Objectives
Understanding and using basic applications of biostatistics in the analysis of medical research data, like descriptive statistics, general principles of statistical hypothesis testing, statistical inferences on means and proportions, and interval estimates for association measures.
