- Introduction to Biostatistics
Introduction to Biostatistics is the name of the course that is offered by Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. The students will learn about the concepts and reasoning strategies in biostatistics. Feel free to download the lectures in PDF or MP3 files. These materials cover several things, including the differences in means, sampling variability, hypothesis testing, and theoretical distributions. Aside from the online version, this course was also available in based class. While the course that is based in class took four weeks to complete, the time to complete this online version is not limited. The students are able to complete everything every time they have a free time. If the course is not enough, they might also want to try the practice problems that are in the course site along with the solutions.
- Introduction to Biostatistics

By taking this course, you will be introduced to the basic statistical techniques that focus on applications to health sciences and biological sciences. There are two parts of the course. Two of them are able available to be downloaded on the course website. By completing the course, the students will be able to know about the experimental design, life tables, estimation, and descriptive statistics.
- Methods in Biostatistics
Methods in Biostatistics is the name of the course that is offered by Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. This one includes several subjects, including applied probability, statistic inference, proportions, and some other things that have something to do with the field of biostatistics. The course consists of a total of 14 lectures and each of them is able to be downloaded from the class site. Talking about the lectures, the lecture notes come with the readings from six textbooks that are used in the original course.
