Volume 2014/2015
Education
MSc Programme in Human
Biology - compulsory
Content
Statistics for human biologists. The course participants will be
introduced to the fundamentals of statistical reasoning. They will
learn how to apply appropriate statistical methods for common
laboratory experiments, clinical trials and observational studies.
During the course the student is required to work on a project that
is
to be handed in for evaluation at the last course day.
Learning Outcome
At the end of the course, the student shall be able to identify
and
execute and report all steps of data management, statistical
analysis
and interpretation of results. This includes
- knowledge: descriptive statistics, p-value, confidence interval, t-test, multiple linear regression, chi-square test, logistic regression
- skills: data management in R, data analysis in R
- competencies: evaluating, implementing and reporting
statistical models
Teaching and learning methods
