Statistics include descriptive summary statistics (mean, median, and SD); techniques for testing hypotheses (z- and t-tests, chi-square tests, non-parametric methods, ANOVA, sampling and bivariate correlation and simple linear regression (survival analysis) and then moves on to a presentation of multiple regression techniques and the analysis of variance under the general linear model. It will focus on designs involving a quantitative dependent variable and independent variables of either a quantitative or categorical nature. Choice of technique and interpretation of results will be stressed more than mathematical development of the methods. The course includes a weekly laboratory session on computer data analysis using the SPSS for Windows statistical package. Graded ABCDE/Y.
  
  • PTP 721 - Research Methods and Stats in PT 2.


    Admission to the PhD in Physical Therapy program. (4).

    Focuses on epidemiology and biostatistics concepts and methods needed to conduct cohort, population studies in research and practice. The course covers epidemiology as a methodology for thinking about and designing research to address basic questions of interest in health and medicine and to address specific hypotheses regarding risk factors. Students will understand the science concerned with the occurrence, distribution, and causality of diseases and other health-related conditions in the world. Biostatistics concepts and methods to be covered include techniques for describing and summarizing observations, for assessing associations among variables, and for determining the extent to which chance may be explaining and/or influencing the observed results. Statistics include types of rates, rate calculations, rate adjustments, data display and interpretation, two-way ANOVA and Kaplan Meier survival curves. The course includes a weekly laboratory session on computer data analysis using the SPSS or SAS for Windows statistical package. Graded ABCDE/Y.
