Objectives
THE COURSE OF PHYSICAL-STATISTICS SCIENCES TAKES PLACE DURING THE FIRST SEMESTER OF THE FIRST YEAR. IT IS DIVIDED INTO 4 DIDACTIC MODULES: GENERAL PHYSICS WITH 3 CFU, MEDICAL STATISTICS WITH 2 CFU, ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC MEASUREMENTS WITH 2 CFU AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEMS WITH 2 CFU, FOR A TOTAL OF 108 LECTURE HOURS. THE COURSE AIMS TO PROMOTE THE ACQUISITION OF THEORETICAL KNOWLEDGE REGARDING THE BASIC ELEMENTS OF GENERAL PHYSICS, MEDICAL STATISTICS, ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC MEASUREMENTS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEMS. IN PARTICULAR, IN ADDITION TO THE BASIC ELEMENTS, ASPECTS RELATED TO DIAGNOSTICS BY IMAGING WILL BE ANALYZED.
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
- PRINCIPLES OF GENERAL PHYSICS.
- PRINCIPLES OF MEDICAL STATISTICS.
- ELEMENTS OF ELECTRIC AND ELECTRONIC MEASUREMENTS.
- ELEMENTS OF INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEMS.
ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
- ABILITY TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED TO DIAGNOSTICS BY IMAGES.
TRANSVERSAL SKILLS:
- CAPABILITY TO UPDATE THROUGH BIBLIOGRAPHICAL TOOLS.
Prerequisites
THE STUDENT MUST HAVE ACQUIRED THE BASIC KNOWLEDGE IN THE FIELD OF PHYSICS AND MATHEMATICS PROVIDED BY THE HIGH SCHOOL STUDY PROGRAMS. FURTHERMORE, THEY MUST HAVE ANY TRAINING DEBTS (OFA)

Medical statistics
Descriptive Statistics: Definition of statistics. Phases of a statistical survey. Statistical units. characters. Mode. Data Arrangement: Tables. Absolute, relative, percentage and cumulative frequency. Statistical distributions. Graphic representations. Gauss curve. Summary indicators: mean, median, mode, deviance, variance, standard deviation, percentiles, box-plot.
Statistical Probability: Calculation of Probabilities. Definition of probability. Simple or compound event. Dependent, independent, compatible, incompatible events. Probability theorems. Probability distribution. The normal or Gaussian distribution. Standardization of probability and use of tables: the meaning of the Zeta.
Statistical Inference: The logical path of inference. Sampling. Distribution of the sample mean. The standard error. The central limit theorem. The significance level and the confidence interval.
Hypothesis Testing: Meaning of “hypothesis testing”. Statistical hypothesis: region of acceptance and region of rejection of the null hypothesis. The alpha error and the beta error. The concept of statistical power. The level of significance and the p-value. The Zeta test. One-tailed and two-tailed tests.
Correlation And Statistical Regression: Association between two variables. Statistical correlation. Statistical regression. Scatter Plots. Covariance. Correlation coefficient (Rho). Regression analysis. Regression line.

Teaching Methods
THE COURSE INCLUDES LESSONS FOR 108 HOURS. ATTENDANCE TO CLASSROOM LESSONS AND LABORATORY EXERCISES IS MANDATORY. TO BE ABLE TO TAKE THE FINAL EXAM, THE STUDENT MUST HAVE ATTENDED AT LEAST 75% OF THE HOURS PROVIDED FOR THE TEACHING. THE VERIFICATION MODE. PRESENCE IS COMMUNICATED BY THE TEACHER AT THE BEGINNING OF THE LESSONS.
Verification of learning
THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE COURSE OBJECTIVES IS CERTIFIED BY PASSING AN EXAM WITH EVALUATION OUT OF THIRTY. THE TEST AS A WHOLE ALLOWS TO ASSESS THE CAPACITY OF KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING, THE CAPACITY TO APPLY THE ACQUIRED SKILLS, THE CAPACITY OF EXPOSURE, THE CAPACITY TO LEARN AND TO DEVELOP SOLUTIONS WITH AUTONOMOUS JUDGMENTS. THE TEACHERS HOLDING THE COORDINATED MODULES PARTICIPATE IN THE OVERALL COLLEGIATE EVALUATION OF THE STUDENT'S ACHIEVEMENT.
