Director, Biostatistics and Study Design

This workshop will review the general framework of statistical hypothesis testing and introduce the basic principles of power analysis for both animal and human research. We will cover different factors affecting power like study design, outcome measures, statistical tests, and effect sizes, and then discuss the increasingly important issue of multiple comparisons and the implications for power analysis. You will learn how to use a free software package to perform power analysis in simple situations, and the typical information needed by the Biostatistics and Study Design Service to perform power analysis and determine the sample size for you.


All workshops will be available in BSPB, E112 and on Zoom. If you have questions, please email PBC-TREO-Events@arizona.edu
