Postgraduate Certificate in Biostatistics with R
Biostatistics is a fundamental tool in scientific research in various areas such as medicine, biology, chemistry, among others. Its application allows to analyze and understand the data obtained in studies and experiments, which translates into informed decision making and the generation of solid knowledge. At TECH Global University we have developed the Postgraduate Certificate in Biostatistics with R, a training proposal aimed at students, researchers and professionals interested in acquiring knowledge in data analysis. In this Postgraduate Certificate, the R programming language will be used for data analysis, which will allow participants to be more efficient in the processing of information and in the presentation of results.
The Postgraduate Certificate in Biostatistics with R aims to provide participants with the theoretical and practical tools necessary for the design and analysis of scientific research studies. In this program, topics such as design of experiments, univariate and multivariate data analysis, linear and logistic regression, and data modeling will be addressed. In addition, participants will learn how to use R as an analysis tool, learning to use its different functions and libraries, which will allow them a greater degree of autonomy in data manipulation and statistical analysis. This Postgraduate Certificate is an opportunity to acquire practical knowledge in biostatistics, which will allow participants to develop a solid and reliable scientific research.
