The lecture is geared towards undergraduate (bachelor) students studying statistics (at or after the 3rd semester).
This lecture introduces students to different statistical methods and concepts that are needed to analyze medical data. Relative risk and odds ratio, for example, are two commonly used measures of association in biometry. It is not uncommon for an apparent association to be caused by a third variable, a phenomenon known as “confounding”. The course presents suitable statistical methods to avoid confounding in medical studies. Other topics of the course include statistical testing, study types, and matching procedures.
