Course Information
Description
This course is intended for students who are already very comfortable with fundamental techniques in statistics. The course will cover methods for building and interpreting linear regression models, including statistical assumptions and diagnostics, estimation and testing, and model building techniques. These models will be extended to handle data arising from longitudinal studies employing repeated measurement of subjects over time. Lectures will be accompanied by computing exercises using the Stata statistical package.
When offered in Summer: Restricted to HSPH degree or PCE students. Due to overlapping content, students may not enroll in this course after taking BST 226 in the spring without instructor permission.
When offered during the Academic Year: Students enrolled in the MPH-EPI program have priority enrollment in this course. MPH-GEN students will be automatically added to the waitlist. All other students must request instructor permission with priority of permission granted to students in a summer-only/summer focused program.
