Course ID: M3201J4B
Credits: 2
Objective:
The teaching purpose of this course is to let students understand how to use statistical software to solve biostatistical problems.
Course Prerequisites: None.
Outline: This course introduces the SPSS and open source R software language that can be implemented in biostatistics for data organization, statistical analysis, and graphical presentation. Beginning with a focus on data from a parametric perspective, the teacher will address topics such as Student t-Tests for independent samples and matched pairs; one-way and two-way analyses of variance; and correlation and linear regression.
Teaching Method: The teaching materials used in this course are created by the teacher. The teacher will introduce and demonstrate statistics software to students and each week students should finish the homework. In the first lesson, the teacher will explain the background, so that students can have a clear idea of the content of the course. By the end of course, there will be a final examination.
