This course offers the student methods and use of statistics as they apply to scientific studies. It begins with collecting and displaying the distribution of data where the student will pay attention to central tendencies and correlation. Students will examine study designs, data relationships, confidence intervals, correlation, and run appropriate tests and analyses (t-tests, ANOVA, chi-squared, regression). Focus will be on the statistics of epidemiology, incidence and prevalence, and measures of risk.
