A Statistical test provides a mechanism for making quantitative decisions about a process or processes. Its intent is to determine whether there is enough evidence to reject a null hypothesis or hypothesis about the process.  The course will cover designing the statistical testing process, data preprocessing, understanding and interpreting the basic statistical concepts (p-value, confidence interval, etc.), and the most common statistical testing methods in clinical research. The course will also include a hands-on component using GraphPad Prism and R statistical language to perform common statistical tests. 

 

The detailed topics will be covered in this course: 

- Introduction to statistical testing process 

- Data Preprocessing 

- Common parametric and non-parametric tests, including two-sample t-test, ANOVA, multiple comparisons, correlation, linear regression, Robust statistics, etc. 

- Application in GraphPad Prism and R 

 

Prerequisites for this course: 

- Basic R 

- Operating Systems: MacOS or Windows
