The course is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of statistical methods and their applications in the field of medicine. Building upon the foundational knowledge of inference and regression, this course will delve deeper into statistical design and analysis of observational studies and clinical trials. Students will gain the necessary skills to plan and analyze medical studies, interpret statistical results, and make informed decisions based on statistical evidence. During the course the R software environment will be used. Through lectures, hands-on exercises, and real-world case studies, students will develop a strong foundation for statistical thinking and its practical applications in medicine.
The course is given in a hybrid format, i.e., parts of the course are coordinated between a campus course and an online course.
