From Numbers to Knowledge: Measurement Theory in the Biomedical Sciences

Graduate School of Health Sciences at Aarhus University

The interpretation of research findings is often non-trivial. This course enables doctoral students to apply core principles of measurement theory (MT) to their own biomedical research, helping them evaluate data with confidence, avoid interpretation errors, and justify methodological decisions. Students will learn how foundational MT principles support rigorous analysis and informed decision-making, applying these concepts directly to a cohort, model, experiment, or measurement used in their own work.
