CPH 630 Introduction to Biostatistics

This course covers a broad range of statistical methods used in the health sciences. Although statistical methodology will be presented to the extent needed for students to understand the models and methods, the course will emphasize practical applications over theoretical derivations. Students will learn how to use a computer package for data analysis, and how to interpret the results of data analyses. Homework assignments and exams will address conceptual, methodological and data analytic issues.
