As part of its doctoral program, the Department of Life Sciences and Health Technologies is offering the following event in the winter semester 2025/2026:
Fundamentals of Biomedical Statistics for Doctoral Candidates – A Follow-up Course
Trainer: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Konstantin Kotliar (FH Aachen)
Date: January, 13 (Tue), 20 (Tue) and 23 (Fri), 2026, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

- Analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA), post-hoc tests
- Type II error, sensitivity, sample size calculation for experimental design, effect size
- Non-parametric statistical tests for comparing data
- Which test should I use, and what does it tell me?
- Simple regression and correlation analysis
- Bland-Altman plot
- Two-way ANOVA: without repeated measurements (2 factors, independent groups) and with repeated measurements (2 factors, dependent groups). Main and interaction effects.
- How and why to analyze frequencies and proportions? – Statistics for nominal scaled data.
Doctoral candidates of the department are kindly asked to register by December 17, 2025 (nora.diehl@pknrw.de).
