Correlation Analysis of Biomedical Data

Abstract

In the correlation analysis of biomedical data, a common issue is the non-fulfilment of the assumption of normality. The main goal of the thesis is to provide a comprehensive theoretical background on correlation analysis, with a focus on quantitative variables that do not follow a normal distribution, and to apply the theoretical knowledge in the analysis of a real biomedical dataset. R-project was used for implementation.
