Introduction to Biostatistics

BIOS 4120

Spring 2024

Announcements

4-10: I have to end office hours early today, at 1:30 (sorry, unavoidable conflict).

1-21: I will be unable to hold office hours on Monday, Jan 22 (previous commitment involving a thesis defense). I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

1-8: Welcome to the website for Introduction to Biostatistics. On the menu above are links to the syllabus, lecture notes, assignments, and labs. There are also a number of data sets available in a tab-delimited format. We will discuss these data in class and on homework assignments as the semester goes on. There are also some tables, which we will start to use later in the course. Finally, under “study materials”, there will be practice tests and quizzes.

Corrections

4-09: The notes for the Two-sample continuous data lecture accidentally had a blank page instead of a plot. This is fixed now (thanks, Dawson, for pointing this out!).

2-06: I accidentally had the wrong date for assignment 3. The correct due

2-06: I accidentally had the wrong date for assignment 3. The correct due date is Tuesday, February 13 (not Tue Feb 15, which isn’t an actual date). The online version of the assignment is now correct.

1-17: I accidentally switched the days for my office hours; Prof. Breheny’s office hours are 2:00-3:30 Mondays and 1:00-2:30 Wednesdays. This is correct on the current syllabus, but incorrect on the syllabus that was originally posted. I apologize for any confusion this causes!
