| | STA 112 Introduction to Probability and Statistics II Credits: 3
Semester: Sp
Prerequisites: None
Corequisites: None

STA 119 Statistical MethodsCredits: 3 \ 1
Semester: F Sp
Prerequisites: None
Corequisites: None
Type: LEC/REC
View Schedule
Covers topics in descriptive statistics, probability, inference, and experimental design, all of which are put together to draw conclusions from uncertainty through analysis of experimental data. Although a general statistical methods course, the material (through examples) is geared towards sciences majors, especially those in the health sciences. Looks into the underlying reasoning behind the techniques rather than just pure application.
| | STA 403 Statistical Comparisons and AssociationsCredits: 3
Semester:
Prerequisites: MTH 142; an introduction to statistics course is a recommended prerequisite
Corequisites: None
Type: LEC
View Schedule
Advanced presentation of statistical methods for comparing populations and estimating and testing associations between variables. Topics include point estimation; confidence intervals; hypothesis testing; ANOVA models for 1, 2, and k way classifications; multiple comparisons; chi-square test of homogeneity; Fisher’s exact test; McNemar’s test; measures of association, including odds ratio, relative risks, Mantel-Haenszel tests of association, and standardized rates; repeated measures ANOVA; simple regression; and correlation.

STA 404 Regression AnalysisCredits: 3
Semester:
Prerequisites: STA 403
Corequisites: None
Type: LEC/LAB
View Schedule
Covers regression analysis and introduction to linear models. Topics include multiple regression, analysis of covariance, least square means, logistic regression, and non-linear regression. The course includes a one-hour computer lab and emphasizes hands-on applications to datasets from the health sciences.
| | STA 406 Introduction to Statistical Computing Credits: 3
Semester:
Prerequisites: STA 112 or permission of instructor
Corequisites: None
Type: LEC
View Schedule
Familiarizes students with PC-based statistical computing applications for public health, and is a companion course for STA 112 Introduction to Probability and Statistics II. Develops basic skills in the use of a statistical package through classroom demonstrations and independent lab assignments that complement the material covered in STA 112. Emphasizes data definition, verification, descriptive and inferential statistics, and graphical presentation. In addition, the course gives students the skills needed for effective data management, data manipulation, and data analysis at a basic level.
