Graduate Courses at the University of Washington

For a full list of courses taught please see my CV. Students ask me for the course notes of courses I have taught. These are provided below for some popular courses -- but note they are not a substitute for taking the course, and doing the exercises.

• BIOST 514/517 - Biostatistics I. This is an "introductory" course, but goes deeper into the underlying concepts than many other introductions.
• BIOST 570 - Advanced Regression Methods I. A PhD-level course in regression methods for independent outcomes
• BIOST 571 - Advanced Regression Methods II. A PhD-level course in regression methods for dependent outcomes
• BIOST 540 - Correlated Data Analysis. An MS-level course in regression methods for dependent outcomes
• BIOST 533 - Linear models. An MS/PhD-level course in linear regression, with a strong emphasis on what exactly certain assumptions provide

Guest lectures in other courses

See my CV for a full list:

• Hubio 530, Visualizing and Summarizing Data - a graphical introduction to the mean and median of a sample of data, and some related measures of spread
• Epi/Biost 519, Bayesian Statistics (a very brief introduction) - for an audience familiar with applications of regression-based inference, but with little exposure to Bayesian statistics
• Biost 505, Communicating with Graphics - an overview and some examples. The course is on Writing, Presentation, and Collaboration Skills for Biostatistics

ASA/AHA Session

In August 2018 I taught a session on "Statistical Methods: Advanced Common Sense" at the ASA/AHA Research Leaders Academy. The materials are here.
