Learning unit contents
Statistical concepts in relation to physical injury compensation
The course starts with an introduction to descriptive statistics, outlining methods to summarise data graphically (bar diagram, histogram, cumulative frequency distribution) or numerically (mean value, standard deviation, proportion, percentiles, median, range, correlation). Next, there is an introduction to sampling theory and probability theory which bridge descriptive statistics to inferential statistics (standard error, confidence interval). Finally, some of the major statistical tests are described.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Statistical concepts in relation to physical injury compensation
Statistics plays a major role in health sciences (medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, biomedical and motricity sciences). The course is intended to give students the basics of statistical thinking, reasoning and computing. Emphasis will be put on (1) data analysis, (2) planning of experiments and survey, (3) research, (4) critical reading of the scientific literature, and (5) the logic of scientific reasoning. Students should be able to give a proper interpretation of scientifc results.
