Introduction to Research
1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Janet Foote, PhD
Associate Professor, Public Health
Epidemiology and Biostatistics and Study Design
This workshop will cover the steps to take for research, from great ideas to testable hypothesis, data acquisition, and analysis. You will learn when and how to access the Biostatics support services along with how these resources can help from pilot data to publication.
Biostatistics: Power Analysis Workshop
2:30 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Chengcheng Hu, PhD
Professor, Public Health
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
