This course is a continuation of DCS 5101 Biostatistics Laboratory I and includes a more advanced exposure to biostatistical methods through case studies, conceptualizing research questions, collecting and preparing data. As a part of this lab, the student will collect data (or use current study data), perform an analysis, and write up results. Concurrent enrollment in DCS 5302 Biostatistics for Clinical Sciences II is required. Course objectives are:
- Preparing data for analysis, discovering and correcting data errors.
- Using statistical procedures in SAS related to the Biostatistics II course.
- Evaluating analysis techniques, performing an analysis and writing up results.
Prerequisites: DCS 5101 Biostatistics Laboratory I and either of the following: DCS 5391 Mathematical Biostatistics for the Clinical Investigator, or DCS 5309 Conceptual Biostatistics for the Clinical Investigator.
