Statistical Modeling for Biomedical Researchers – online resources and class notes

Blog Post by William D. Dupont, PhD, Professor of Biostatistics and Preventive Medicine, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, Tennessee, USA

I teach a course in intermediate-level biostatistics as part of the Master of Public Health program at Vanderbilt University.  This program is targeted at clinical fellows who are interested in academic careers in population-based medicine.  Class notes for this course are posted at
http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/BiostatisticsTwoClassPage
in both pdf and MS-PowerPoint formats.  This web site also contains the data files used in this course and log files illustrating the analyses performed in the lecture notes.  These notes are based on my text: Statistical Modeling for Biomedical Researchers.  The goal of both this text and these notes is to provide hands-on instruction in modern multi-variable statistical analysis while using a minimum of mathematics.  My web page for this text may be found at
