N 758PE - Advanced Statistics

This course builds upon knowledge gained from the previous doctoral course, by having students apply selected advanced inferential and multivariate biostatistical procedures for analyzing healthcare data. Students are introduced to hypothesis testing using both parametric and nonparametric multivariate methods such as multiple regression, factor analysis, logistic regression, and multivariate analysis of variance and covariance. This course is taught using an applied approach where students evaluate the biostatistical techniques used in nursing research to provide evidence of effectiveness for healthcare practice or policy change. This course emphasizes the interpretation and appraisal of data analysis to help students select appropriate statistical methods for their DNP projects.  This course includes 30 hours of practice experience activities. This course requires the purchase of SPSS.
