Course objectives
Practically oriented course focused on practical training of applied data analysis in the field of biological, ecological, biomedical and clinical data. The course is an ongoing educational activity in the series of practical seminars I - III and is offered for students which are interesting in more periodically changed specilized lessons. Approximately 12-15 lessons are offered per academic year, a total amount of 18 courses is required for the full attendance of seminar series I-III. Computer assisted training on specialized or commonly available software is directly included in the teaching plan. Different level of biostatistical experience or knowledge is possible, the course plan will be individualized. However, fo regular students of biological sciences, the attendance of basic course on biostatistics is recommended (e.g. Biostatistics, Bi5040). The attendance of at least 6 thematically specialized lessons is required for the course. Lessons are periodically changed (annual period), always in order to cover limited number of leading topics. Main topics for Biostatistical seminar autumng 2002 - spring 2003 are as follows: (1) Biodiverzity data and ecological diverzity and (2) Statistical minor for predictive medicine.
