    Lecture: Data cleaning and basic probablility concepts
    We will start the lecture discussing real world data cleaning.  We will then pivot to define the basic probability terms and probality statements needed as a foundation for more advance statistical concepts.  We will apply these concepts by discussing Bayes theorem and diagnostic testing

    Lecture: Analysis of variance, nonparametric testing, and review of hypothesis testing

    In this lecture we will discuss analysis of variance to compare multiple means, as well as non-parametric tests including the sign test, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and the Wilcoxon rank sum test.  We will also review the hypothesis testing methods that we have covered in prior lectures.

    Lecture: Contingency tables, McNemar's test, relative risks, and odds ratios
    In this lecture we will discuss the construction of contingency tables and learn the chi-square test for independence for examining categorical data. We will start with 2x2 tables and move to larger tables, and we will discuss relative risks and odds ratios and calculate confidence intervals for these measures. We will discuss the use of McNemar’s test to examine paired dichotomous data.
