Elective Courses (3 required)
Logistic Regression
Logistic regression extends ordinary least squares (OLS) methods to model data with binary (yes/no, success/failure) outcomes. Rather than directly estimating the value of the outcome, logistic regression allows you to estimate the probability of a success or failure.
Tuition: $399 (5 CEUs)

Survival Analysis
The course describes the various methods used for modeling and evaluating survival data, or time-to event data.
Tuition: $399 (5 CEUs)
Next dates available:
- September 24, 2010
Environmental Statistics
This course will introduce you to the statistical methods used in environmental analysis. Many of these methods would be covered in a standard course on statistics, but some of the topics that are covered here would not be included in such a course.
Tuition: $399 (5 CEUs)
Next dates available:
- October 15, 2010
Advanced Logistic Regression
After taking this course, participants will be able to specify, implement and interpret the output of a variety of advanced logistic regression models not covered in the first course, "Logistic Regression."
Tuition: $399 (5 CEUs)
Next dates available:
- October 15, 2010
Categorical Data - Applied Modeling
This course continues the analysis of categorical data, contains a review of logistic regression, and introduces multinomial responses for logistic regression, probit, logit and loglinear analysis.
Tuition: $399 (5 CEUs)
Next dates available:
- November 12, 2010
Spatial Statistics With Geographic Information Systems
Spatial statistical analysis uses methods adapted from conventional statistics to address problems in which spatial location is the most important explanatory variable. This course will explain and give examples of the analysis that can be conducted in a geographic information system such as ArcGIS or Mapinfo.
Tuition: $399 (5 CEUs)
Next dates available:
- November 12, 2010
Advanced Survival Analysis
This course focuses on the extension of the Cox proportional hazards model to (a) recurrent event survival analysis and (b) competing risks survival analysis.
Tuition: $399 (5 CEUs)
Next dates available:
- November 12, 2010
Matrix Algebra Review
This course will provide the basics of vector and matrix algebra and operations necessary to understand multivariate statistical methods, including the notions of the matrix inverse, generalized inverse and eigenvalues and eigenvectors. After successfully completing this course, you will be able to use and understand vector and matrix operations and equations, find and use a matrix inverse, and use and understand the eigenset of a symmetric matrix.
Tuition: $299 (3.75 CEUs)
Next dates available:
- December 10, 2010
Multivariate Statistics
This course covers key multivariate procedures such as classification, clustering, principal components and factor analysis.
Tuition: $399 (5 CEUs)
Next dates available:
- February 18, 2011
Ecological and Environmental Sampling
This course covers sampling methods and analyses used to study of the density and abundance of animals and plants, and other important biological variables.
Tuition: $399 (5 CEUs)
Next dates available:
- February 25, 2011
Advanced Design of Experiments
The aim of the course is to present advanced and important concepts that have received very little attention, such as designs for irregular experimental regions and Analysis of Means (ANOM).
Tuition: $399 (5 CEUs)
Next dates available:
- April 08, 2011
Maximum Likelihood Estimation
This course will cover the derivation of maximum likelihood estimates, and their properties.
Tuition: $179 (2.5 CEUs)
