Full course description
During “Introduction to Statistical Methods and Data Analysis” students were already made acquainted with the basics of inferential statistic and simple statistical techniques to analyze data. Adding to the statistics learned during the introduction course (period 2), the current course will guide you through intermediate-level statistics. Several methods you will learn about are simple and multiple linear regression, analysis of variance, logistic regression and factor analysis. With these techniques a broad range of statistical analyses of data can be conducted. In addition, you will learn how to apply these topics in statistical software. In terms of teaching activities, the course has lectures, tutorials to the study the theory in relation to realistic cases, R workshops to practice in conducting statistical analyses and journal clubs to practice interpretation of statistical information as reported in academic publications.
