Course Title:
Statistics for the Health Sciences
Course Description:
Designed as an introductory course in probability and statistics for students in health sciences. Includes descriptive and inferential statistics and discussion of various datas’ origin, say, “random sample” from some population. Requires an understanding of probability, including the concept of the probability of an event; axioms of probability; concepts of random variables and their expectation; probability distributions; theoretical results of probability, such as the central limit theorem and its use to approximate deviations of the sample mean. Shows, in the statistics segment, how to use data to estimate parameters of interest and test statistical hypotheses. Introduces regression, analysis of variance, and goodness-of-fit tests, which can be used to test whether a proposed model is consistent with data. Also describes some nonparametric hypothesis tests.
