Biostatistics

Explore biostatistics through a comprehensive series of lectures covering essential topics such as reading scientific papers, advanced statistical techniques, designing metrics, and various types of ANOVA. Learn about experimental design, including FDA testing and sources of bias, and master the chi-squared test for independence and goodness of fit. Gain valuable insights into effective visual data display, from introductory concepts to advanced techniques for adding information and avoiding manipulative presentations. Enhance your understanding of statistical analysis and its applications in biological research.
