Program

Introduction into descriptive statistics

  • Overview: Measures of central tendency and spread, i.e.
  1. Arithmet. mean, range, standard deviati on, standard error, confidence interval for the mean
  2. Median, interquartile range, confidence interval for the median
  • Explanation of the requirements for statistical parameters
  • Which measure for what purpose?

Introduction into using the program

  • Data organisati on in GraphPad Prism
  • Computing descriptive statistics in GraphPad Prism
  • Differences to other statistical programs

Creating simple graphs in GraphPad Prism

  • Data organisation in GraphPad Prism
  • Computing descriptive statistics in GraphPad Prism
  • Differences to other statistical programs

Introduction in inference statistics:

Overview: Theory and diversity of statistical tests

  1. Comparing two groups

A: Checking the requirements

  • Visual inspection of scatterplots and histograms
  • Tests of Normality and of outliers
  • Tests of homogeneity of variances

B: Comparing paired and unpaired groups

  • t-Test
  • Mann-Whitney U-Test, Wilcoxon – matched pairs signed rank test

2. Checking three or more groups – Overview

  • Oneway-ANOVA – analysis of variance and post hoc-Tests
  • Kruskal-Wallis –Test (Oneway-ANOVA of ranks and post hoc-Tests)

Which Test for what purpose? Which requirements?

Using GraphPad-Prism

  • Comparing two groups, tutorial data sets from GraphPad Prism
  • t-Test
  • Mann-Whitney U-Test
  • Wilcoxon – matched pairs signed rank test

Graphs for comparisons of two groups

  • Boxplot and arrows for significance and labeling
  • Editing of simple graphs
  • Using GraphPad-Prism

Questions

Comparing three or more groups: Analysis of variance (ANOVA)
