Course Requirements
The program consists of five courses; the first four courses provide core training in data management and analysis using R, foundations of statistical methods for data analysis, and reporting and presentation of results. The final capstone course is a guided project, in which students will synthesize knowledge gained in the first courses, develop a research question, analyze data and present their findings.
BIOS 640. Introduction to Health Data Science Methods
Credits: 3
Offered by: Epidemiology and Biostatistics (Graduate Studies)
This course is not offered this catalogue year.
Description
Introduction to the basic principles of data analysis and knowledge dissemination. Topics include introduction to R and RStudio; good coding practice and file organization; tidy data; version control; creating reproducible research reports; data visualization; R package creation and online publication.
Most students use Visual Schedule Builder (VSB) to organize their schedules. VSB helps you plan class schedules, travel time, and more.
