In this course, students will learn how to design a randomized study, handle practical issues that arise in data collection, analyze data using appropriate methods and good statistical practice, identify limitations to statistical evidence, and interpret and communicate findings in an audience-appropriate way. This is a hands-on course in which students will work with data and build skills using SAS statistical software in preparation for careers as biostatisticians, data scientists, and researchers. Pre-requisite: A graduate level introductory statistics course that includes simple linear regression.Credits: 3.00
