Analysis of Biostatistical Articles
Identify two peer-reviewed articles from the South University Online Library that present statistical analysis of an issue of Public Health importance. Provide links to these articles online (such as a URL, web address or DOI number). Give a summary of each article, including hypotheses, methods, and findings. Research the topic and available data sources. Based on the biostatistical methods you have learned about in this course, analyze the articles and their findings.
Be sure to consider:
· What data does the article use? How was it collected and measured?
· What is the type of study or study design?
· Explain the type of biostatistical study design that the author has used.
· What is the hypothesis or hypotheses that the author intends to test?
Analysis of Biostatistical Articles
