DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “6 Hour Virtual Seminar on Biostatistics for the Non-Statistician” webinar was added to from ResearchAndMarkets.com offer.

The use of statistics in clinical trials ensures a valid and robust study that minimizes bias in evaluating the effectiveness of new drug treatments or medical devices.

Participants in this 6-hour virtual seminar will learn the basics of statistical theory and how statistical concepts are applied in the analysis and communication of clinical research results.

The objective of the seminar is to provide information that can be used immediately by personnel involved in the analysis of clinical trial data. The focus will be on actual statistical concepts (a), (b) application and (c) interpretation, not on mathematical formulas or analysis of actual data. A basic understanding of statistics is desired, but not necessary.

This seminar also provides an in-depth review of the basics for those who need a refresher on statistical theory and types of statistical analysis.

Learning objectives:

• Statistics are a useful decision-making tool in the field of clinical research. When working in a field where a p-value can determine the next steps in drug or procedure development, it is imperative that decision-makers understand the theory and application of statistics.

• Many statistical software are now available to professionals. However, this software was developed for statisticians and can often be intimidating to non-statisticians. How do you know if you’re pressing the right key, let alone if you’re performing the best test?

• This seminar provides a non-mathematical introduction to biostatistics and is designed for non-statisticians. And it will benefit professionals who need to understand and work with study design and interpretation of results in a clinical or biotechnology setting.

• The goal of the seminar is to give you the information and skills to understand statistical concepts and results as they are applied to clinical research and to convey the information to others with confidence. Therefore, a basic/fundamental to intermediate understanding of statistics is all that is needed to understand and apply the information presented in this webinar.
