PREV 621 BIOSTATISTICAL METHODS
This course is designed to introduce the students to a broad range of methods commonly used in biomedical and public health research, and to provide some hands-on data analysis experience. Topics to be covered include the role of statistics in science, properties of distributions, exploratory data analysis, inference about means, proportions and survival distributions, and introduction to multivariable methods. Note: PH 621/ PREV 621 does not satisfy the biostatistical requirements for MS or PhD students in Epidemiology but is an appropriate course for other graduate degree programs.
