Fall 2016

Announcements:

10-27: I have to reschedule office hours for Tuesday, November 1. Instead, I will have office hours Monday, October 31, from 1:00-2:00 and Wednesday, November 2, from 3:00-4:00.

9-19: Confirmed: Our final exam will be Monday, December 12 from 10:00-12:00.

9-09: The tentative date for our final exam is Monday, December 12 from 10:00-12:00.

9-06: I’ve gotten a few questions on Problem 9 from Assignment 1, where you are told to “show your work”, so I wanted to clarify what I have in mind. In part (a), for example, I was expecting:

\[\begin{align} \bar{y} &= \frac{1}{n}\sum_i y_i \\ &= \frac{1}{n}\sum_i (a + b x_i) \\ &= \ldots \\ &= a + b\bar{x} \end{align}\]

where “show your work” means fill in the missing work where I just have dots. If you have questions about whether you’re showing enough work, please feel free to ask.

8-22: Office hours canceled for Thursday, August 25.

8-17: Welcome to the website for Biostatistical Methods I. 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.
