Περιγραφή Μαθήματος

1. Description

This is a standard course that prepares Biostatisticians for support of clinical trial projects.  The course will cover fundamental aspects of the appropriate design and conduct of medical experiments involving human subjects (clinical research/trials) including ethics, design, sample size calculation, randomization, monitoring, data collection analysis and reporting of the results.

There will be three homework projects assigned with about four weeks allowed for completion, plus one midterm examination and a final class project.  The relative importance of these in the final grade is given below.

A computer laboratory will accompany some (but not all) lectures.

2. Prerequisites/Audience
