    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.

    I am glad to learn a lot of terms in statistics and how to use and interpret them in the context of Public Health researches. The Instructor provided enough examples to understand the lessons better.

    I found this course really useful. It actually made you do work and it wasn't necessarily easy to pass the end of module content, which I feel made the course so much more valuable. Highly recommend.
