Applied Statistics 2

This course introduces the student to the use of statistical techniques to answer clinically relevant questions, within the discipline of nursing. The focus of this second course in the two-semester statistics sequence is on developing a conceptual applied understanding of the uses and interpretation of statistics testing relationships between and amongst variables including correlation and linear models and their extensions to regression including multiple and hierarchical regression. Drawing on current nursing research, the case study method will be used to enhance the students' conceptual understanding by illustrating actual applications of particular statistical techniques.
