Learning objectives
The course aims at providing knowledge that helps students to read and interpret the descriptive statistics reported in scientific articles. Students will learn to: evaluate the reliability of biomedical measurements; appropriately describe the information collected on a group of patients; calculate the probability of one or more events.
Program
INTRODUCTION
Use of statistics in medicine.
DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS
Measurement and measurement scales - Precision and accuracy of a measurement procedure - Statistical variables and their representation by frequency distributions: tables and graphs with one or two variables - Measure of central tendency (arithmetic mean, geometric mean, median, mode, percentiles) - Measures of dispersion (range, interquartile range, deviance, variance, standard deviation, coefficient of variation) - Pearson's correlation coefficient.
PROBABILITY
Classical, frequentist, and subjective interpretations of probability - Calculation of probabilities: rule of addition and rule of product - Independent and conditional probabilities.
PREVENTION, SCREENING AND DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
Primary, secondary, tertiary prevention - Validity and performance of a diagnostic test.
Probability distributions for continuous variables and confidence intervals.
Bibliography
Learning assessment procedures
Written test with multiple-choice questions and exercises. The final evaluation is expressed in thirtieths.
