• Course Description. The Biomedical Statistics ANAT 597 provides the student with a foundational knowledge of basic statistics. This foundation of knowledge enables to the student to adapt to the statistical requirements of their specific research. In addition, this course provides instruction for using R/RStudio to perform statistical analysis and data graphics display. A coordinated combination of lecture topics and laboratory exercises address descriptive, population, and non-parametric statistics.
• Examinations. The are two examinations; a mid-term and a final. Each examination is worth 100 points; 50% of 200 total points available for the course. Essay style questions are crafted from lecture topics and laboratory exercises. Each examination is two hours long.
• Attendance. Recommended. Pending the individual's assessment for the merit of attendance in their particular case. It may become awkward if the two examinations are not attended.

• Primary textbook for lecture: Introductory Statistics - Collaborative Resource, Rice University
• Secondary textbook for lecture: Handbook of Biological Statistics - John H. McDonald PhD., University of Delaware
• Primary textbook for laboratory: Summary and Analysis of Extension Program Evaluation in R - Salvatore S. Mangiafico PhD., Rutgers Cooperative Extension, New Brunswick, NJ
