BIO 203 [Summer 2] Principles of Biostatistics: Part II

This course is the second part of introductory biostatistics; it continues to explore inference in greater depth. Lectures and laboratory exercises will emphasize applied data analysis, building upon the fundamentals emphasized in BIO 202. Topics covered include the comparison of two means, analysis of variance, nonparametric methods, inference on proportions, contingency tables, multiple 2 x 2 tables, correlation, simple regression, multiple regression and logistic regression, analysis of survival data, and sampling theory. The computer is used throughout the course, and the student will gain more familiarity with STATA. Please note: Students enrolled in Biostatistics 203 are required to attend two hours of lab sessions each day in addition to daily lecture. Course Note: Requires BIO 202. Students who take BIO 202 and BIO 203 will not be given credit for BIO 200, BIO 201, or BIO 205.
