Course contents :
|
| This course is the second part of the teaching of Biostatistics at the Faculty of Medicine. It addresses mre advanced statistical methods, such as regression, one-way and two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), contingency tables and non-parametric statistical techniques.
Each lesson consists of a theoretical exposition of the method followed by a session of practical applications, where the student will get used to solve statistical problems encountered in daily practice. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| The course is intended to improve and enhance the use of biostatistics in health sciences, by insisting on statistical reasoning and problem solving rather than on the mathematics and the complexity of formula. Students should be able to carry out an in-depth statistical analysis of a dataset resulting from an experiment or a survey, in particular with respect to the thesis they will prepare later on in their cursus. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Students should have received the course "Biostatistics I" or some equivalent statistical course. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| Total: 15 hours
In statistics, practice is most important. Students are therefore requested to attend the practicals. These will be scored and taken into account in the final score of the exam.
Practicals will start on Thursday 6 November 2014 at the Mathematic Institute, usually from 16h30 to 18h30. The last session will be on 11 December 2014.
Please take with you your lecture notes, exercise book, pocket calculator and a pad |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| The course will start on Thursday 6 November 2014 at 14h00. In general, the course lasts until 16h30 with 10-15 break. The last course will be on 11 December 2014. |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| Students will have to buy the lecture notes "Biostatistics, A. Albert, edition 2012" at Point de Vue shop near the large lecture halls at the cost of 15 EUR. This book contains the course material as well the main statistical tables. It will be used during exercise sessions and at the final examination. Finally, it can be used as a reference book in biostatistics in subsequent years.
NB. Students who bought the Biostatistics lecture notes in 1.Bachelor year can use it!

Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| A written test will take place in January. Any score of 10 or more will be considered as a success, exempting the student from the examination in June or September. All exams are written exams and students can used their lectures notes or any other documents. Exams are scored 0-20. |
