Biostatistics is an essential skill for every public health researcher because it provides a set of precise methods for extracting meaningful conclusions from data. In this second course of the Biostatistics in Public Health Specialization, you'll learn to evaluate sample variability and apply statistical hypothesis testing methods. Along the way, you'll perform calculations and interpret real-world data from the published scientific literature. Topics include sample statistics, the central limit theorem, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and p values.

Principales reseñas sobre PRUEBA DE HIPÓTESIS EN EL ÁREA DE LA SALUD PÚBLICA
Simply the best course ever illustrated so far!! Instructor Dr. John is an awesome motivator and true passionate instructor!
Very detailed lectures and mostly all the concepts were cleared by examples which was great for me to conceptualize all the topics in a simple manner. Thank you so much.
This course astonishingly improved my ability in interpreting scientific paper results related to public health. Highly recommended. Thanks in advance to Dr. McGready for being such a great instructor
Huge coverage of hypothesis testing. Some lectures were quite repetitive or similar in nature and those could be reshaped as it seemed puzzling and boring. However, It was an informative one.
