Course Goal / Objective
It is aimed that the student who has taken the basic epidemiology course will have the knowledge and skills to make basic analysis of categorical data and to have an idea about intermediate-advanced analysis of them.
Course Content
Basic analysis of categorical data, which are frequently encountered in epidemiolgy, will be studied theoretically and practically. Moderate-advanced level analysis of categorical data will be studied theoretically.
Course Precondition
BIS 521 Temel Epidemiyoloji is required
