(3 credits) CVR 7300— Fundamentals of Biostatistics This basic statistical course will introduce elementary methods for presenting biological data in summary form, analyzing biological data, and designing experiments. It is not a mathematics course, so will not stress derivations of formulae but, rather, will emphasize the application of statistical ideas and methods to the analysis and interpretation of biological experiments and comparative data. The student will be able to assess a situation involving data analysis, state the null and alternative hypotheses proposed, decide on the correct statistical procedure to test the null hypothesis and the assumptions of the test used, calculate the statistic, assess its statistical significance, and interpret the data in light of the calculated result. Assessment of a student’s performance will be done through the use of problem sets, quizzes, and a final exam. (3 credits) CVR 7310—Principles of Statistical Inference This is the second course in the biostatistics sequence and is intended for consumers of statistics in the biological and medical fields, as well as researchers.

For this course, the student will need to be familiar with basic statistics and statistical techniques as presented in CVR 7300. Students will be using the statistical program R to perform statistical processing; therefore, students must have basic skills in the use of R. (3 credits)
