Muestreo de personas, redes y registros (Coursera)

Muestreo de personas, redes y registros (Coursera)

Para hacer una buena recopilación de datos se necesitan buenas muestras. Pero las muestras pueden elegirse de muchas maneras. Pueden ser selecciones fortuitas o convenientes de personas, registros, redes u otras unidades, pero uno se cuestiona la calidad de tales muestras, especialmente cómo se relacionan estos métodos de selección con el hecho de sacar buenas conclusiones sobre una población tras la recopilación y el análisis de los datos. Las muestras pueden seleccionarse con más cuidado según el criterio del investigador, pero entonces uno se pregunta si ese criterio puede estar sesgado por factores personales.

Las muestras también pueden extraerse de forma estadísticamente rigurosa y meticulosa, utilizando métodos de selección y control aleatorios para proporcionar una sólida representación y costos controlados. Este último tipo de muestras es el que se analizará en este curso. Examinaremos el muestreo aleatorio simple que puede utilizarse para el muestreo de personas o registros, el muestreo por conglomerados que puede utilizarse para el muestreo de grupos de personas, registros o redes, la estratificación que puede aplicarse a las muestras aleatorias simples y por conglomerados, la selección sistemática y las muestras estratificadas multietapa. El curso concluye con una breve descripción de cómo estimar y resumir la incertidumbre del muestreo aleatorio.

Probabilistic Graphical Models 2: Inference (Coursera)

Probabilistic graphical models (PGMs) are a rich framework for encoding probability distributions over complex domains: joint (multivariate) distributions over large numbers of random variables that interact with each other. These representations sit at the intersection of statistics and computer science, relying on concepts from probability theory, graph algorithms, machine learning, and more.

Research for Impact (Coursera)

In this course, you will learn more about the Research for Impact approach - a set of principles and practices that will help you to make your research more impactful. Traditionally, the goals and outcomes of research projects were to contribute knowledge and communicate this knowledge through academic publications and journal articles. But If we truly want our research to have an impact, we need to do research differently. Research that influences change in policy, practice, behaviour and attitudes.

Design and Interpretation of Clinical Trials (Coursera)

Clinical trials are experiments designed to evaluate new interventions to prevent or treat disease in humans. The interventions evaluated can be drugs, devices (e.g., hearing aid), surgeries, behavioral interventions (e.g., smoking cessation program), community health programs (e.g. cancer screening programs) or health delivery systems (e.g., special care units for hospital admissions). We consider clinical trials experiments because the investigators rather the patients or their doctors select the treatment the patients receive.
