| Course Description: This course provides an introduction to important topics in biostatistical concepts and reasoning. It also represents an introduction to basic concepts covering study designs and sample size computation. Students will be introduced how to apply basic theoretical concepts of biostatistics in health science, epidemiology, and public health. Knowledge about measurement scales, types of variables and data along with various statistical methods for summarizing and presenting different types of data will be provided. The concept of probability with its applications in epidemiology and public health will be introduced. The course concludes with a moderate level presentation of important probability distributions applied commonly in epidemiology and public health. The whole program will be delivered in an application oriented way by giving more weightage for problem solving.
