Dublin, Dec. 30, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Biostatistics for the Non-Statistician Training Course" training has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The objective of this seminar is to provide every trainee with the information and skills that are mandatory to comprehend numerical concepts and answers as smears to scientific study and to positively convey the information to others.
Statistics is a valuable tool that is good and useful for making decisions in the medical research arena. When employed in a field where a p-value can determine the next steps in the development of a drug or procedure, it is authoritative that choice makers comprehend the philosophy and request of statistics.
Quite a few numerical software is now available to professionals. However, this software was industrialized for geometers and can often be unnerving to non-statisticians. How do you know if you are persistent in the right key, let unaided execution be the best test.
This seminar on medical biostatistics online course provides a non-mathematical introduction to biostatistics and is designed for non-statisticians. And it will profit specialists who must comprehend and work with study design and clarification of findings in a scientific or biotechnology setting.
Stress will be placed on the real numerical (a) concepts, (b) application, and (c) interpretation, and not on mathematical formulas or actual data analysis. A basic understanding of statistics is desired, but not necessary.
The seminar Includes Certificate, PDF copy of the Handouts, Q/A Session, Live Instructor-led 3 Days Web Seminar & Statistical Analysis Plan Template provided by the faculty.
