BIO1104 Basic Biostatistics Final Assessment: Statistical Analysis of Biomarkers, Treatment Effects & Clinical Outcomes

• One of the two main treatment groups (Group2) – for example, Group A =
  standard care, Group B = experimental treatment
• One of three subgroups (Group3) – representing different dosages or drug
  formulations (T1, T2, T3).

Various biomarkers and clinical outcomes (e.g., recovery time, disease severity) were measured for each patient.

Table 1: Research Questions

You must:

• Analyze the dataset according to Table 1’s Research Questions.
• Ensure statistical assumptions are tested before performing each inferential
  analysis.
• Provide interpretation of statistical results in biological terms, not just statistical jargon.

Submission Requirements

You must submit:

1. Cleaned dataset (Excel) – include the original and cleaned versions with proper labelling of the sheet
2. Written Report (less than 3000 words), structured as follows:
   a. Introduction

   test selection, variables
   c. Results: clear tables/figures with test statistics, r, p-values, and visual
   summaries, and all relevant test’s outputs
   d. Interpretation & discussion: Explain what the result suggests biologically;
