Overall Aims of Course This course aims: To provide the student with a clear and detailed presentation of the statistics. Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: Appreciate the value of exploratory methods in preliminary data analysis. Explore, characterize and identify problems and trends in data using graphical tools. Use descriptive statistics to summarize data. Master the concepts of hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, risk and power. Perform the appropriate statistical test based on the study objective. Analyze data more quickly and more accurately. Interpret results reliably and confidently III.
