MSHA 409-DL : Statistical Analysis

Description

This is an introductory course to general concepts and fundamentals in the practice of biostatistics as commonly used in health data. This will form the foundation for more advanced topics to come in later courses, such as intermediate biostatistics. On its own, the material covered here will be sufficient to perform basic descriptive statistical analyses on your own, and indicate when you should ask for assistance.

The goal of this course is to teach students how to perform basic statistical analysis of health data sets in RStudio. The techniques you’ll learn in this course are important in themselves, and will form the foundation for later courses in the MSHA program, as well as learning how to be productive in R Studio.
