| Course contents : |
 | | Common course |
|
| This course follows the first part (given in the first year). Hypotheses testing is discussed in the context of contingency tables and ratios comparisons. The next part introduces means comparisons (one and two samples). The F statistics is then described, and used in analyses of variances (one-way, two-way, crossed and hierarchical) and in regression analyses. Several regression models are provided (linear, quadratic, curvilinear, multiple). After some notions about correlation, the last part of the course discusses a few non parametric methods. |
| | Partim Multivariate Analysis |
|
| This is an optional chapter. The goal is to develop the methods taught in the main course. The methodology, based on linear models, is explained, allowing to build up models generalizing the simple models detailed in the first part of the course. |
|
|
| Course objective : |
| | Common course |
|
| The main goal of the course is to master the main statistical analyses used in veterinary sciences. The student will also be able to present the results of a statistical experiment. In parallel, the statistical power of a design will have been studied, and should allow the students to compute the needed sample sizes of their experiments. Another issue is to lead the student to understand the statistical reasoning, especially in the context of hypotheses testing and for the techniques useful in the veterinary sciences. |
| | Partim Multivariate Analysis |
|
| This course allows to go further in the simple models developed in the first part of the course. It is potentially usefull for every student. |
|
|
| Prerequisites : |
| | Common course |
|
| Biostatistics as applied to veterinary medicine I (or equivalent) |
| | Partim Multivariate Analysis |
|
| Biostatistics applied to veterinary medicine, part I and II (or equivalent) |
|
|
| Workshops : |
| | Common course |
|
| Practical sessions on personal computers are planned. Each student can access a computer and solve the proposed problems during the session. At the end of each session, a set of more elaborate problems are given as an assignment to be made for the final exam. |
| | Partim Multivariate Analysis |
|
| No practical session planned. The lecture is abundantly illustrated with examples. |
|
|
| Organization : |
| | Common course |
|
| The course is organised into 20 lectures of 2 hours each, given to the whole group in an amphitheater, and by 5 "computer sessions" given in the computer room of the veterinary faculty to smaller groups of about 30 students at a time. |
| | Partim Multivariate Analysis |
|
| The course is made up of 5 lectures. Each lecture is 2 hours long. |
|
|
| Written notes : |
| | Common course |
|
| Book sold at Office des cours |
| | Partim Multivariate Analysis |
|
| Written notes are provided to the students. Also, an electronic copy is available on the faculty intranet |
|
|
| Assessment : |
| | Common course |
|
| The evaluation is made on personal computers. Students can practice on this type of computerized examination all year long. |
| | Partim Multivariate Analysis |
|
| The option is evaluated together with the main course (see "Biostatistics applied to veterinary medicine II") |
