The course is run as a mix of short theory sessions and small group exercises using the software package IBM SPSS or R in RStudio.
During the course, part of the emphasis is placed on what to report from the statistical analysis in doctoral theses and research papers.

Planning of the sampling procedure
When planning a research study, the question of how many animals or samples are to be examined occupies many researchers. To experiment on animals, you must provide the relevant information in the animal experiment application. The full-day course explains why sampling planning is necessary, what factors affect the number of animals or samples needed, and how to calculate the sample size. In addition to detailed explanations, the focus is on calculating case studies.
In the course, the calculations are made using MS Excel. Basic knowledge of MS Excel is required.
Dates:
We reserve the right to cancel courses at short notice if there are fewer than six registrations by the deadline. The registered participants may be able to attend later courses, assuming a surplus of places is available. The registration period ends 14 days before the start of the course.
The courses will take place at PC-Pool C, Koenigsweg 65. If in-person events are not possible, the course will be offered online. You will be informed in due course.
