Welcome to the UCLA Statistics for the Biomedical and Health Sciences (Stats 13) electronic book (EBook).

Contents

Preface

This is an Internet-based probability and statistics for biomedical and health sciences EBook. The materials, tools and demonstrations presented in this EBook would are used for the UCLA Statistics 13 course. The EBook is developed, updated and manages by the UCLA Statistics faculty teaching this course over the years. Many other instructors, researchers, students and educators have contributed to this EBook.

There are four novel features of this Statistics EBook. It is community-built and allows easy modifications and customizations, completely open-access (in terms of use and contributions), blends information technology, scientific techniques, heterogeneous data and modern pedagogical concepts, and is multilingual.

Format

Each section in this EBook includes

  • Motivation
  • Concepts, definitions, formulations
  • Examples
  • Small (mock-up) and real (research-derived) data
  • Webapp demonstration with real data (HTML5)
  • R programming
  • Problems
