Measures of Association

Measures of association are a group of coefficients and factors used to quantify the relationship between two or more variables. These measures are an initial step toward establishing a relationship between even seemingly unrelated events, and clinical research studies make constant use of them in their data analysis.

In this course, the student will be introduced to the methods of calculation of relative risk, associated risk, and odds ratios.

For optimal understanding, the student is required to be familiar with the basics of arithmetic, algebra, and epidemiology. Since some concepts may be very abstract to some, it’s encouraged to rewatch some video lectures until the concepts are fully grasped.
