Stats for the Terrified: An Introduction to Medical Statistics / Making Sense of Numbers: Interpretation of Data AboutThis is a full day workshop incorporating "Stats for the Terrified: An Introduction to Medical Statistics" in the morning and "Making Sense of Numbers: Interpretation of Data" in the afternoon.The morning workshop "Stats for the Terrified: An Introduction to Medical Statistics" is directed at those with no, or only very limited knowledge of, statistics who require a better understanding of how statistics can be used to describe and summarise data.The level of presentation is very basic and examples will be used throughout to illustrate the procedures and concepts.The afternoon session "Making Sense of Numbers: Interpretation of Data" is aimed at those who need to interpret numbers but have little or no knowledge of statistics.The content is appropriate for those who may need to critically appraise published (quantitative) articles. The focus is on interpreting rather than generating the results of a statistical analysis.At the end of these two workshops, those attending should be able to:Describe different data typesDescribe measures of ‘location’ (also known as ‘central tendency’)Describe measures of the variability (spread) appropriate to the distribution of the dataDescribe the features of the Normal distribution and the t-distribution together with aspects of their applicationDerive and interpret confidence intervals for continuous data and proportionsDistinguish between absolute and relative measuresExplain the distinction between confidence intervals and P-valuesInterpret the results of one-sample, unmatched and paired t-testsInterpret the chi-square test for comparing proportionsInterpret an odds ratioMake sense of data presented in graphs Tags Courses & Seminars Sep 18 2025 09.30 - 16.30 Stats for the Terrified: An Introduction to Medical Statistics / Making Sense of Numbers: Interpretation of Data An introductory course covering the basics of using and interpreting statistics in healthcare research.
