Attention!

   The examination period after the first semester is between Dec. 15 and Jan. 28. Only for retake: Jan 29 – Febr. 1.In this time period the following days can be chosen for the exam for biostatistics and informatics:


Dec. 17, 28, Jan. 7, 14, 21 and 28


Registration should be done on the NEPTUN system.

The exams start at 2 p.m., in the student’s laboratories of the department.

Form of the exam:

The  semifinal exam is written test done on the computer. It contains multiple choice questions and calculations in Excel.

Students have to register for the exam using the Neptun system. Change of exam date is possible until 8 a.m. two days before the exam. After  this time if the change is unavoidable one has to contact Dr. Voszka (ext. no: 60211. e-mail: voszka.istvan@med.semmelweis-univ.hu).

 

Necessary to know how to do it in excel for the semifinal exam:


Elements of descriptive statistics: calculation of average, median, mode, standard deviation, standard error, element number, maximum, minimum, spread, given quantile, skewness, kurtosis, confidence interval

Frequency distribution: absolute, relative
Preparation of cumulative distribution function and probability density function

One-sample t-test
Paired t-test
Two-samples t-test (with F-test)
Mann-Whitney-U-test
Wilcoxon’s signed rank test
Chi-square test (homogeneity, independence)
Chi-square test (goodness-of-fit test in case of simple distributions, e. g. is the dice loaded?)
Linear regression, slope, intercept
(Pearson) correlation coefficient, correlation t-test

Calculation of probability (e.g. type I. error) from t, chi-square, z-values
Calculation of t, chi-square, z-values from the probability
Calculation of the value of normal distribution at a given x-value

Evaluation of diagnostic tests (not an excel function)

Diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, etc. in case of different prevalences.

 The registration books (index books) of the students will be signed during the exam by the examiner. (Condition: both midterm tests are passed and the number of absences is not more than 3)

Exams start at 2 p.m.. at students laboratories. Sitting for an exam is possible only with registration book..
 

We organize consultations in the exam period on the following days at 4 p.m.:  Dec. 14, 27, Jan. 4, 11, 18, 25
