Course contents :
|
| The course deepens the biostatistics notions. It is focused on hyptheses tests (means comparisons, followed by analyses of variance, regression and correlation analyses). The last section of the course discusses the analysis of binary outcomes using logistic regression. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| The main objectives of the course are:
- to make the students familiar to the use of computers softwares.
- to explain the statistical reasoning.
- to introduce the notion of statistical hypothesis testing, and to provide numerous examples in biology.
- to list a series of useful techniques, especially the ones mainly used in experiments likely to be made by veterinarians.
- to allow the students to use the theory on practical examples extracted from the veterinary life.
- to open the view of the students for the situations not covered in the course.
