Modality: Online

From the organizers:

"Join experienced biostatistician Katrina Gore & Dr Nikki Osborne to improve your knowledge & understanding of statistical analysis methods, how to apply them to different experimental design & about data visualisation best practices.

This course involves: 

Three 3-hour live & interactive online sessions, plus discussion & practical activities to complete to reinforce learning. Upon completion of the course

participants will receive a certificate of attendance for 9-hours CPD.


09:30-12:30 (BST) Tuesday 12th May - Session 1. Basics of visualisation and hypothesis testing

09:30-12:30 (BST) Wednesday 13th May  - Session 2. Estimation & Precision, Significance tests and Basics of ANOVA

09:30-12:30 (BST) Thursday 14th May  - Session 3. Extending ANOVA and reporting results.


Session one will cover:

  • Understanding, identifying, minimising variation and its impact.
  • How the scientific question and experimental design influence the choice of statistical analysis method.
  • What summary statistics are available and when to use them.
  • Why and how to transform your data, plus strategies for dealing with outliers.
  • The structure of a significance test using a two-sample t-test as an example. 


Session two will cover: 

  • What measures of precision should be used and when, including SD Vs SEM plus confidence interval.
  • Non-parametric statistical tests and other simple tests to compare more complex data sets.
  • Basics of ANOVA and why it should often be used instead of multiple t-tests. 


Session three will cover: 

  • What experimental designs and data features require an extension to statistical analysis methods such as ANOVA and how to incorporate them.
  • ANOVA for randomised block designs and factorial treatment structures.
  • Analysis of Covariance, ANCOVA Vs Change from Baseline.
  • Assumptions of ANOVA and ANCOVA."
