Class Objectives
/Class Outline |
Student will learn firsthand from supervisor and vice supervisor, and make master thesis. Review of text or paper, seminar, numerical experiment, data analysis etc, under the guidance of supervisor.
This lecture will begin from the latter half of the first year semester.
Using a combination of text and paper readings, as well as spreadsheet software Excel and statistical software JMP (partially EZR), you will learn about the basics of biostatistics and data analysis.
However, there will be no involvement in mathematical statistics, Excel macros, or R code programming. |
