About the Course

Biostatistics is the application of statistical reasoning to the life sciences, and it's the key to unlocking the data gathered by researchers and the evidence presented in the scientific public health literature. In this course, we'll focus on the use of simple regression methods to determine the relationship between an outcome of interest and a single predictor via a linear equation. Along the way, you'll be introduced to a variety of methods, and you'll practice interpreting data and performing calculations on real data from published studies. Topics include logistic regression, confidence intervals, p-values, Cox regression, confounding, adjustment, and effect modification....

Very exciting course, comparing to the previous courses it is completely new to me. Thanks to Ph.D. MS John McCready and to Johns Hopkins University

Such complex concepts explained with ease. The section on confounding requires more than one reading. Really enjoyed it.

Continues to be way too much then is nessessary.

The way the weeks work is odd. There are two sections in Week 1 but Week 4 is just the final quiz. Feels like th two sections should be Week 1 then Week 2.

Finally, this professor is inconsistant on delivery of solutions to the quizzes. First class was in pdf form, second class didn't have them at all and this class had links to videos.

I started the course but its too much Math oriented. Not suitable for Public health professionals or students. He starts with complex things and we have to wait for examples to get some clarity.

The course was very hard and complicated for the regular non medical student
