More about the network

Description

Analysis of variance; analysis of covariance, linear models and linear mixed models; power of a study; sample size; randomisation; blocked experiments; cross-over studies.

Learning outcomes

The student learns to build statistical models for different common experimental study designs and interpret the analysis results regarding the effect of treatment. The student understands the special features of a randomised study as compared to standard statistical modelling. The course aims at building understanding of the role of different sources of statistical variation in the observations and how such variation can be addressed in the design phase of a study.

Additional information

The course is organised every other year. The next round will be in the autumn of 2024.

Description of prerequisites

Recommended preliminary courses: Statistical Inference I; Linear and Generalised Linear Models.
