LECTURE: Using simulations in statistics

Event Date: 
Tuesday, 26 March, 2013 - 19:00
Lecturer: 
Aleš Žiberna, Fakulteta za družbene vede, UL

In the talk I will present several possibilities for using simulations in statistics. Focus will be on using simulations for discovering properties of statistical methods and their evaluation, however using simulations for teaching statistics will also be mentioned. Special attention will be given to design of simulations and to presentation and analysis of results. In the extremely unlikely case of sufficient time or in case of strong interest using simulations for hypothesis testing and confidence interval construction will be also mentioned.

About IBMI

Institute for Biostatistics and Medical Informatics (IBMI), formerly Institute for BioMedical Informatics (so still IBMI) was founded by the Faculty of Medicine as a result of a need for a unit which would perform, or coordinate, tasks related to data analysis and providing information, relevant for research in medicine. The programme of the institute, and its development, have been adjusting thorugh time to changes in financing and technological progress, but the basic aim remain the same: to support research in medicine. This is achieved through the following tasks:
