Organized by:
Department of Biostatistics and Biomedical Systems Theory
(for:
Faculty of Pharmacy)
Statistics 1755-F12-STAT-J
Lectures:
The aim of the lectures is to familiarize the student with
the knowledge of theoretical methods and experimental statistics used in medical research problems.
Laboratories:
Laboratories will provide students with the knowledge of probability distribution of discrete and continuous random variables, descriptive statistics and linear regression. The students acquire skills and abilities of using the statistical methods both without computer and with the application of programs for statistical analysis (EXCEL, Statistica)
