Applied Statistics for Evaluation Research Studies

Catalog description

Pre-requisites: BIOE 6525, BIOE 6535, BIOE 6555, BIOE 6605. This course will cover the application of fundamental methods of statistical analysis for evaluation research studies. The course also includes the management of a data bank, and the creation and transformation of variables. In the application of statistical methods to evaluation research studies we examine descriptive and inferential statistics. In particular, we discuss T Test, F Test, ANOVA, Chi -Square, and the use of Odds-Ratios in evaluation research studies. In addition, the use of multivariate and logistic regression in evaluative studies will be discussed. It is expected that at the end of the course the student can successfully integrate theory and practice such that he will be able to perform the appropriate statistical analysis to a data bank in o rder to complete a particular research study. The course will be offered as seminar. EVAL 6621 - Research Evaluation Seminar I. One (1) credit.
