Literature:
It is recommended to buy one of the following two books:
BR Kirkwood and JAC Sterne: Essential medical statistics, 2nd ed. Blackwell, 2003.
In Norwegian: OO Aalen et al: Statistiske metoder i medisin og helsefag. Gyldendal, 2006.
Participants can also consider the following book, which also cover the topics in many other PhD courses in statistics (chapter 1-5 and 11 is most relevant for this course):
Veier?d MB, Lydersen S, Laake P (eds.): Medical statistics in clinical and epidemiological research. Gyldendal akademisk, 2012 (www.medicalstatistics.no). This book does not cover the whole curriculum but is used as a course book in several of the PhD courses and chapters 1-5 and 11 are useful for this course.
All exercises used in the course can be found in a separate exercise booklet, available on Fronter.
