Hypothesis Testing Using Medical Statistics

"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies and statistics." Mark Twain (1906)

This is a course for Basic Medical Statistics as designed for my university (UKM, Malaysia) postgraduate program. I adopted it's content to make it suitable to be delivered on this platform (MOOC). The main aim of this course is to equip course participants with adequate knowledge of medical statistics, enough for them to do analysis on their own research data set.

Statistics is a dreary topic and is often abused in the mainstream media. It is hard to make it a fun topic but let us try to enjoy this course. If you want to look at the fun side of statistic, check out How to Lie with Statistics", a book written by Darrell Huff in 1954.
