IBS 611 - PRACTICAL STATISTICS

College of Medicine

Credits: 2

Practical Statistics will introduce students to basic statistical concepts and applications that are used in a majority of biomedical and translational research studies. The emphasis will be on ‘how’ and ‘why’ certain basic statistical applications are used rather than the theory behind various statistical methods. Students will cover materials using didactic lectures, examples of data from the primary literature, and homework problems.

Prerequisite(s):
Prereq: Some background in molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, and/or chemistry (including organic chemistry) at the graduate level is recommended. Courses such as BCH 401G, IBS 601, IBS 602, or IBS 603 would satisfy this recommendation.
