About the Course

Biostatistics is the application of statistical reasoning to the life sciences, and it is the key to unlocking the data gathered by researchers and the evidence presented in the scientific literature. In this course, we'll focus on the use of statistical measurement methods within the world of public health research. Along the way, you'll be introduced to a variety of methods and measures, and you'll practice interpreting data and performing calculations on real data from published studies. Topics include summary measures, visual displays, continuous data, sample size, the normal distribution, binary data, the element of time, and the Kaplan-Meir curve....

A contemporary review of statistical theory and application principals to either add to or interpret scientific literature. A necessary everyday tool for research scientists.

The instructor is very well-spoken and the course material is explained very clearly. The additional example videos are also great if you need to further your understanding.

Thankfully, no peer assignments. Very elaborate quiz questions, often with subtle wording. Nontrivial number of typos. All the quizzes can be attempted 3 times in 8 hours, which is fair enough, but the final "project quiz" can only be taken once every 24 hours, which is an annoying set up. I prefer to review my mistakes immediately and try again, if needed.

There are much better courses to learn biostatistics online. This course will make learning biostatistics much more difficult for a beginner, possibly making you want to dislike the subject.
