Learning Outcomes – Statistics Basics

00:00 So what have you learned? You've learned the differences between P values and confidence intervals, and you've learned about the null hypothesis, three foundational ideas in statistics.

The human component is everything, it is not simply about crunching numbers, it’s about interpreting numbers and adding value and meaning via your own expertise and perspective. You’ve also learned the differences between different types of variables, continuous versus discrete, dichotomous variables and multi-categorical variables, all of which will help make you a much better epidemiologist and clinical researcher.
