Statistical Analysis of Data

Catalog description

After gaining an understanding of the basic concepts of statistical analysis of research data in the BMMSG 518 course, this course will enable students to comprehend the logic behind the basic statistical tests in this course. They will also learn to run them and critically interpret the results of the tests. These exercises will help students identify and run the most appropriate tests relevant to their own research project and then interpret their results in terms of the P value, statistical power, and effect size. By the end of the course, students should have a sound understanding of the statistical aspects of their own research and be able to critically evaluate the statistical adequacy/inadequacy of others' research as well.
