Regression Models in Healthcare
In this course, you will begin learning about more advanced multivariate statistical methods that are regularly used in healthcare data analysis. You will also practice applying these statistical methods to examples from the healthcare industry. The topics covered in this course will prepare you for interpreting data and making data-informed decisions in real-world healthcare settings. While the course focuses on application and the use of these statistical methods, there is some discussion of the mathematical underpinning, relevant formulae, and assumptions necessary for understanding the application of statistical methods.
