ANNOUNCEMENT IBSTATB17 Introductory Biostatistics for Biologists with Ana Luisa Papoila and Fernanda Diamantino. The GTPB is proud to announce that the above referenced hands-on training course is open for applications IMPORTANT DATES for this Course Deadline for applications: Aug 30th 2017 Course dates: Sept 11th - Sept 15th 2017 Candidates with adequate profile will be accepted in the next 72 hours after the application, until we reach 20 participants. Course Description: This is one of our "Foundations" type courses, providing a systematic and detailed review of fundamental concepts and techniques in Biostatistics. Participants can expect to go through a set of exercises that are based on biomedical problems. These exercises are preceded by short lectures that are simple to follow. The lectures are designed to provide the conceptual framework that is needed to release the training power of the exercises, not to flood the participants with formality, which will be kept to a minimum. We will make use of a highly interactive methodology, taking advantage of our well equipped Bioinformatics training room. With this approach, we expect to bring the participants to a high degree of usage independence in using the methods that we cover. Main topics: Descriptive Statistics; Probability; Statistical Inference; Design of Experiments.
