Case Study: Hokkaido University achieves stronger medical statistics training with JMP

Hokkaido University designs a course to help medical students develop transferrable statistics skills

Hokkaido University wanted to give medical students a practical working knowledge of statistics and show how it applies across the life sciences. To do that, Associate Professor Yoichi M. Ito incorporated JMP into a new graduate course, using it to help students move beyond theory and see statistics as a useful tool for scientific research.

JMP was used for hands-on exercises, exploratory data analysis, and case-study learning with sample data from the JMP data library. As a result, students developed a stronger appreciation for statistics and how it can improve their future research and careers in medicine and the life sciences, with JMP supporting analysis across a wide range of methods from regression to survival analysis.
