Syllabus
Note that the syllabus is subject to change until the class starts. I will
hand out the syllabus during the first class meeting.
At a Glance
- This is the homepage for the Fall 2008 semester of Statistical Methods for
Correlated Data, offered by the Division of Biostatistics,
School of Public Health at the University of Minnesota.
- This is a second year MS level course for Biostatistics or Statistics
majors, as well as PhD students from other majors who have taken at least
two statistics courses before (some statistical theory and applied linear
regression). For stat/biostat PhD students,
PubH 8452 Longitudinal Data Analysis, might be more interesting (and
challenging). For students who only wish to take two statistics courses at
most, PubH 7402 Biostatistical Modeling and Methods and its pre-quel
PubH 7401 Fundamentals of Biostatistical Inference and recommended, which
also covers some correlated data analysis.
