Course Overview
The Introduction to Biostatistics online course is an 8 weeks program provided by Swayam, an initiative by the Indian governments’ ministry of education. Clinical trials, biological laboratory research, and health surveys all include some degree of uncertainty. Because of the huge variety in data, it is often necessary to simply ignore this ambiguity in many situations, particularly in laboratory studies.
The Introduction to Biostatistics training teaches about statistics tools that are extremely effective in evaluating uncertainty and noise removal from data. Research can also yield a wealth of data because of advancements in molecular and microscopy instruments. To make sense of all the data, a model must be incorporated using statistical methods.
The Introduction to Biostatistics syllabus covers many statistical techniques that are needed to assess the findings, plan new experiments, and integrate a huge number of observations into a single coherent model.
