| Contents | The goal of the course is to provide tools for addressing data science problems in the biomedical field. The first part of the course deals with the origin of data, with the study of measurement theory and the main classes of biomedical measurements. Particular focus is given to bioimages. The second part of the course is dedicated to the fundamental statistical techniques relevant for the biomedical field. To develop practical skills, an important portion of the course is comprised of computer exercises using software tools that are widely applied for statistical analysis of biomedical data. The main concepts are presented through the use of example datasets. |
