Statistical Methods in Research II

A continuation of Statistical Methods in Research 1, this course introduces the student to more complicated methods than those discussed in the first course including generalized linear models, survival models and longitudinal data analysis. The emphasis will be on applied rather than theoretical statistics, and on understanding and interpreting the results of statistical analyses. Datasets will be analyzed using the statistical package STATA. This is a hands-on class with computer labs. Datasets will be analyzed under the supervision of instructors.
