Descriptive statistics are required to effectively summarise and communicate important information in data, while inferential statistics enable conclusions to be extended beyond the immediate data. An understanding of the principles underpinning both types of statistical methods is critical not only for the analysis of data, but also for the critical appraisal of health literature. This unit introduces the foundational skills for quantitative research and is a stepping stone into more advanced research methods units.","title-full":"PUB561 Statistical Methods in Health","title-short":"Statistical Methods in Health","url":{"current":"https://qutvirtual4.qut.edu.au/group/student/enrolment/units/unit?unitCode=PUB561&year=2025","prospective":"https://www.qut.edu.au/study/unit?unitCode=PUB561","timetable":"https://qutvirtual3.qut.edu.au/qvpublic/ttab_unit_search_p.process_teach_period_search?p_unit_cd=PUB561"},"year":2025,"years":[2024,2025]}
