This lecture seeks to provide you with a basic understanding of the statistical issues of epidemiological studies.

This the final lecture of the series, “A Brief Introduction to Epidemiology.” I had planned originally to submit one lecture, but it turned into a “baker’s dozen,” which I hope has been useful in introducing you to the fascinating discipline of Epidemiology.

This lecture seeks to tie together some of the statistical issues that I have come across in the course of developing these lectures, as well as responding to Web visitors who have contacted me for information and help.
