Aim
This course aims to provide participants with advanced statistical knowledge and skills required for analyzing and interpreting data in clinical research. Participants will learn statistical methods used in clinical trials, observational studies, and epidemiological research, enabling them to make informed decisions and contribute effectively to evidence-based clinical practice.
Short Courses Objectives
- Develop a deep understanding of advanced statistical concepts and techniques commonly used in clinical research.
- Learn statistical methods for analyzing categorical and continuous data, including regression analysis, survival analysis, and longitudinal data analysis.
- Gain proficiency in using statistical software to perform complex analyses and generate meaningful results.
- Understand the principles of data validation, quality control, and data management in clinical research.
- Apply advanced statistical methods in interpreting research findings, assessing treatment effects, and communicating statistical results effectively to various stakeholders
