Resume:
The course will give you an overview of statistical thinking as applied to clinical research and medicinal sciences. Using the CONSORT Statement, the participants will be encouraged to interact and discuss about what makes a clinical trial (or an experiment) good in the statistical sense. The focus will be on asking questions and getting answers to understand the “statistical thinking” that goes into trials and experiments.
The workshop aims to cover (notionally):
1. Summary statistics, including measure of location, spread and correlation.
2. Good practice for study design and sample selection.
3. Understanding data “uncertainty/variability”, i.e., confidence intervals and hypothesis testing and p-values.
4. Sample size and power calculation.
5. Statistical thinking in real-world scenarios and structured critical thinking.
