If you are a genius at it..IM me  BioStats 350

what part of biostats do you need help with? I'm learning different things ad hoc

probability and confidence interval amongst other things.  My professor is a joke and my class was online only...not good

 
What specifically do you need help with? Are you struggling with the concepts? When to use which test? How to do the math?




Most, if not all of statistics deals with probability. And CI's are just another way of showing probability.


 

I need something that deciphers what the symbols mean.  p X etc etc.  I need a complete cheat sheet with formulas and a glossary.  I can plug and play numbers just fine.  It is the damn symbols in the equasion that screws me up.

p = probability

 
n = sample size




beyond that, it's hard to say since there are many different tests/formulas... Some may use overlapping:




R in ranked tests refers to rank, but in correlation tests, means something completely different.




No bypassing this except studying your butt off.




My experience with biostats actually never touches the plug/play side... It's not really useful to know all the formulas, since packages in R/Python/Matlab/SPSS all have those things pre programmed. Not to mention in real life situations, biological data sets are usually large enough where it's unfeasible for a human to do the calculations.


 

Google confidence intervals, there are all sorts of helpful sites and notes from college classes available.

That is why this course SHOULD have been based on theory, not the math part.  Piss poor instructor and horrible curriculum.  It needs to be tossed out of the degree program as it has no real world use.  F college.

Ahhhhh  I remember biometrics.  I'll hate ANOVA tables till I die.

Open book exams and Final.  Those tests were like being crucified.  It was one of the "weed out" courses for my degree, and when you passed that class as a junior it was easy sailing till graduation.  As I took this class in 1986, calculators were not what they are today.  I was told to get a Hewlett Packard 15C if I wanted to pass and that damn thing saved my ass.  It inverts a 4x4 matrix in about 5 minutes the only calculator of the day that could and it cost 180 bucks or so in 1985.  I still use that calculator to this day, but couldnt tell you squat about analysis of variance tables.........
