HLSC 4700U – Intermediate Statistics for Health Sciences

This course will provide students with the necessary skills to plan, conduct and critically appraise the statistical analysis of health-related research projects. Specifically, the course will emphasize the inter-relation between the research question, study design and analysis of projects. Real-life research projects will be used to illustrate the common statistical methods used in health sciences. The topics covered in the course may include: analysis of variance, simple and multiple linear regression, logistic regression, nonparametric tests, and special topics such as power/sample size estimation. Applied work in this course will be completed in common statistical software packages (e.g., R, SAS, SPSS).
