Introduction: statistics and its application in Biomedical Sciences; aims and methods of statistical analysis; sampling; data sources; phases of a statistical survey.
Exploratory data analysis: types of data; statistical universe/sample/frequencies; parameters, estimates, variables (definition and type), data; graphical representation of data and use of graphs (histogram, bar chart, pie chart); scatterplot, correlation and regression; centrality measures; variation measures; position measurements and boxplot; central position measurements (mean, median, mode); dispersion indices (standard deviation, interquartile range).
Probability: basics; sum rule and product rule; conditional probability and Bayes' theorem; probability distribution; binomial probability distribution; Poisson's distribution; the standard normal distribution; applications of the normal distribution; sample distributions and estimators; the central limit theorem.
The estimation of parameters: estimation of the proportion of a population; estimation of the average of a population; estimation of the standard deviation (or variance) of the population.
Hypothesis testing with a sample: hypothesis testing; hypothesis testing by proportions; hypothesis testing on the average; hypothesis testing on standard deviation or variance.
Inference from two samples: inference on two proportions; inference on two averages: independent samples; inference on two averages: paired samples.
Correlation and regression: correlation; regression; prediction intervals and variability; multiple regression.
