Description

Course overview
In this workshop we introduce the issues and design concepts that need to be taken into consideration when planning a study using single, replicate or repeated test samples, or planning a simple dose-response study. The workshop will build on the standard hypothesis tests to consider situations where there are more than two comparator groups or more than one sample per subject.

Who should attend? Is it right for me?
This module is aimed at PhD students researching in the laboratory and medical fields. It is suitable for those who have no previous experience of data analysis, as well as those seeking to refresh their skills.
