CRES 721 Biostatistics II
This course is a progression of statistical concepts and methods designed for clinical and translational research. This course will focus on statistical methods commonly used to analyze data from various quantitative research designs, with a focus on the inferential statistical methods of analysis of variance and linear regression. This course will focus on a conceptual understanding of the covered statistical methods, the appropriate application and interpretation of those statistical methods, and the accurate reporting of the results. Students will learn and apply statistical methods to analyze clinical data. Emphasis will be given to the use of statistical software (Stata).
