Overview: Recent advances in cancer biology have resulted in the need for increased statistical analysis of research data. The Statistical Analysis of Research Data (SARD) is designed to provide an overview on the general principles of statistical analysis of research data. 

This three-day course combines Statistical Analysis of Research Data (SARD) and Statistical Tutorial (ST). The first day will feature univariate data analysis, including descriptive statistics and sampling distributions (9 a.m.-12 noon).  After a lunch break class will resume at 1 p.m. with small versus large samples. and inferential statistics (1 p.m.-5 p.m.). The second day will feature bivariate data analysis including simple linear regression and multiple linear regression (9 a.m-12 noon).  After a lunch break class will resume with multivariant analysis including non-parametric tools and goodness of fit test (1-5 p.m.). The third day will feature ST where you learn how to use EXCEL on your computer to analyze statistical data (9 a.m.-12 noon).

The SARD/ST course will be held in person on March 6-7, 2024, from 9:00 am – 5:00 pm and on March 8, 2024, from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm at Bldg. 45, Balcony B on Bethesda campus.
