BSTA 513 Categorical Data Analysis

Credits: 4
Categorical Data Analysis (Biostatistics III) is the third course in the required sequence for Biostatistics Certificate Program and the Epi/Biostat tracks in the MPH program. This course covers topics in categorical data analysis such as cross tabulation statistics, statistics for matched samples, and methods to assess confounding and interaction via stratified tables. It will also explore logistic regression in detail, and relate results back to those found with stratified analyses. Similar to linear regression in Biostatistics 2, topics for logistic regressions will include parameter interpretation, statistical adjustment, variable selection techniques and model fit assessment. If time allows, students will have the opportunity to briefly explore other analysis methods. Most homework assignments for this course are to be completed using statistical software.
