Statistical Computing Applied to Public Health

Catalog description

Pre -requisites: BIOE 6525, BIOE 6535. This course exposes the students to develop your ability to perform statistical computing in the analysis of public health databases. Through interactive lecture, and group discussion, the course will cover programming topics vectorization, data input and output, object -oriented programming, statistical and computational methods such as visualization, optimization, simulation, resampling, classification, and modern statistical methods. Practical exercises will be use to implement statistical computing using software like R, STATA, or other open source software. Students are expected to implement statistical methods using a workable software with diverse data structures.
