Suggestions on Preparation and Review |
(1st - 15th) Students should review the distributed materials after each class. This lecture is intended for students with basic knowledge of biostatistics and experience in analysis with GUI statistical software such as JMP and SPSS, and the goal is for them to master analytical methods in R. In the first part of the course, students will learn how to use statistical functions in R to analyze the analytical methods they have learned in the previous biostatistics lectures. Students are encouraged to review the previous lectures and understand the input/output of statistical functions in R. In the middle part of the course, you will learn how to implement analyses used in clinical epidemiological studies and causal inference using R. In the last part of the course, you will learn how to distribute the data into groups. In the last part of the course, data will be distributed to each group, and students will analyze and summarize the data through group work. |
Requirements |
Completion of either "Basic Biostatistics and Basic Clinical Statistics", "Basic and Advanced Training on Methodology for Clinical Research", "Exercises and Seminar on Medical Statistics Using Statistical Software" is required. Please have R and RStudio installed by the start of the lecture. |
