MMPH6117 Advanced statistical methods I
Coordinator: Dr EHY Lau
Module Description:
This module will provide a practical overview of commonly used biostatistical methods, building on the basic methods
introduced in MMPH6117. This module covers transformation of variables, ANOVA, generalised linear models, factor
analysis, instrumental variable analysis, and multivariate methods. The software package SPSS will be used. Tutorials will
cover the practical application of methods on real datasets.
