Abstract:
|
Communicating statistics so that scientists can carry out their measurements collect data according to a designed experiment and become proficient in statistical computation was the main goal of a course taught in a medical department. This work shares the experience of teaching biostatistics to medical doctors, lab technicians, and medical students in a department of cell biology and molecular medicine, who had a minimal or rusty statistics background. The topics that were covered and the computational resources that were used, together with examples, will also be discussed.
