Medical Statistics II: Probability and Inference
Description
Medical Statistics II is the second in a three-course statistics series. Medical Statistics II covers the foundations of statistical inference. Topics include: basic probability, probability distributions, statistical inference, standard error, confidence intervals, p-values, statistical power, Type I and Type II error, Bayesian statistics, and equivalence testing. These theoretical concepts are taught through hands-on computer simulations in R or SAS (students may use either program). The course also teaches students to recognize common statistical misconceptions and errors using example from the medical literature and popular press.
Prerequisites: Medical Statistics I or the equivalent recommended.
What you will learn
- How to run simulations in either SAS or R
- How to solve probability problems
- How statisticians think about and quantify uncertainty
- How to correctly interpret and use different statistical tools for inference
Tuition
All-Access Plan - 365 days to access course materials, video lectures and assignments, and exams. You can take courses in any order, sequentially or simultaneously, and move freely in and out of all courses in the program. Complete all three courses within one year and earn a certificate.
- $299
Please visit the certificate page for more information.
Individual Courses - 60 days to view and complete course materials, video lectures, assignments and exams, at your own pace.
- $129 per required course
Time to Complete
You should expect to spend 20-22 hours to complete each course, depending on your familiarity with the topic.
For individual courses, we recommend that you designate 3-4 hours per week to watch video lectures and complete assignments in order to finish within 60 days.
Since the All-Access Plan allows you to access all courses for one year, you can determine how quickly to progress, but you must complete courses with 365 days in order to receive credit.
Continuing Education Units
By completing this course, you’ll earn 2 Continuing Education Unit (CEU). CEUs cannot be applied toward any Stanford degree. CEU transferability is subject to the receiving institution’s policies.
