Probability for Biostatisticians
Probability: Biostatistic
The biostatistical field is changing with new directions emerging constantly. Doing research in these new directions, which often involve large data and complex designs, requires advanced probability and statistics tools. The purpose of this new course is to collect these important probability methods and present them in a way that is friendly to a biostatistics audience. This course is designed for PhD students in Biostatistics. Its primary objective is to help the students achieve a solid understanding of these probability methods and develop strong analytical skills that are necessary for conducting methodological research in modern biostatistics. At the completion of this course, the students will a) have a working knowledge in Law of Large Numbers, Central Limit Theorems, martingale theory, Brownian motions, weak convergence, empirical process, and Markov chain theory; b) be able to understand the biostatistical literature that involves such methods; c) be able to do proofs that call for such knowledge.

Theory of Statistical Inference I
THEORY OF STAT INFERENCE
This course offers a general introduction to essential materials in advanced statistical theory for doctoral students in biostatistics. The course is designed to prepare doctoral students in biostatistics for their written theory qualifying exam. Students in this course will learn theory of estimation, confidence sets and hypothesis testing. Specific topics include a quick review of measure-theoretic probability theory, concepts of sufficiency and completeness, unbiased estimation (UMVUE), least squares principle, likelihood estimation, a variety of estimators and their asymptotic properties, confidence sets, the Neyman-Pearson lemma and uniformly most powerful tests. If time permits, the likelihood ratio test, score test and Wald test, and sequential analysis will be covered.

Topics in Statistical Learning and Data
TPCS-STAT LEARN/DATA MINI
The aim of this course is to provide students a systematic training in key topics in modern supervised statistical learning and data mining. For the most part, the focus will remain on a theoretically sound understanding of the methods (learning algorithms) and their applications in complex data analysis, rather than proving technical theorems. Applications of the statistical learning and data mining tools in biomedical and health sciences will be highlighted.

Master's Essay in Biostatistics: Patient
MASTER'S ESSAY-PATIENT OR
This seminar-style course will lead students through the process of writing a Master's Essay in the form of an NIH-style grant application (required for the MS/POR degree track). The essay is undertaken during the fall semester of the second year of study. At the end of the fall term, each student submits a written research proposal following NIH guidelines for either an R01 or K (career development) award. The emphasis in this course is on the quality of the proposed research. The following February, students make an oral presentation to the POR Advisory Board, summarizing the research proposal. Final grades are awarded after the presentations in February.

Statistical Practices and Research for I
Stat Prac & Res for Int S
In this course, students will apply the concepts and methods introduced in Statistical Practices and Research for Interdisciplinary Science (SPRIS) I to a real research setting. Each student will be paired with a Biostatistics faculty member. The student will participate in one of the mentor’s collaborative projects to learn how to be an effective member of an interdisciplinary team. The relationship will mimic that between a medical resident and an attending physician.
The SPRIS II experience will vary depending on the assigned faculty member, but all students will gain exposure to preparing collaborative grant applications, designing research studies, analyzing real data, interpreting and presenting results, and writing manuscripts. Mentors will help to develop the student’s data intuition skills, ability to ask good research questions, and leadership qualities. Where necessary, students may replicate projects already completed by the faculty mentor to gain experience.

Writing for the Screen
Revision
Section 001: A great TV series starts with a great pilot episode. You have one chance to intrigue an audience and stand out from hundreds of other series—599 were released in 2022, and that only includes the English language releases! This course will share the building blocks needed to write the next compelling series, starting with the pilot. Not all buyers want to read a finished pilot, but as the creator, you’ll need to know your pilot inside out and become an expert in your series’ genre if you want to sell it. This course will be a combination of pilot outlining and scene writing with an exploration of character and theme. All this through the lens of the marketplace and your authentic, lived experience—the magic combination for a winning series. We will workshop your outlines and scenes in class. Any assigned readings, screenings, and exercises will be focused as much as possible on inspiring material that relates to your pilot/series idea.
This course will support you if you want to write a full pilot script. However, the main objective is to finish the course having written a pilot outline and key scenes, as well as other material that's vital to a successful pilot and series such as character and season one breakdowns. You should come to the first class with at least two original logline/elevator pitches for series ideas to which you have a strong personal connection.
Existing ideas that you feel would benefit from this coursework are also welcome.
Section 002
Writing For the Screen is a screenwriting workshop for second/ Reserach Arts year creative producing students. Each student will write and present a feature screenplay. Students will submit their work for critique, while critiquing the work of fellow students. The class is about process rather than product; the aim is to further each students understanding of writing visual narrative. Students will also pitch ideas to the class, and work collaboratively to determine which format those ideas are best suited to feature films.

Master's Essay Research I
MASTERS ESSAY RESEARCH I
The Master's Thesis is one of the options for a capstone requirement of all students in all tracks of the MPH program of the Department of Environmental Health Sciences (EHS). The thesis is intended to reflect the training you have received in the MPH program and demonstrate your ability to design, analyze, research and present scholarly writing relevant to your major field of interest.
Writing the thesis is an essential experience that could further your career development and or an application for further studies in academia. Employers seek in potential employees with a MPH degree the ability to write articles and reports, and want to see evidence that you can design studies, analyze data, and write scientific papers. If you plan to continue your academic studies, developing expertise and demonstrating your ability as a writer are two important skills required of doctoral candidates. A well-written paper is a great asset that you can bring with you to a job interview or include in an application for further study. The thesis ought to demonstrate your ability to think clearly and convey your thoughts effectively and thereby provide an example of your understanding and insight into a substantive area in which you have developed expertise.

JOURNAL CLUB IN ENVIR HEA
Journal Club is a one credit course that meets once weekly and is designed to keep doctoral students (PhD and DrPH) abreast of current developments in specific areas of interest to Environmental Health Sciences. Each semester, in consultation with the class, a new topic is selected to examine in depth utilizing critical analysis of recent publications. Students are each expected to present an article to the class and to provide critical thinking and evaluation of research findings and the authors’ conclusions. In preparation for entry into the public health workforce, whether in government service, profit or non-profit corporations, academia, scientific research, policy and planning, administration or regulatory affairs, the students are expected to improve their skills in public speaking, reading of scientific literature, critical thinking and analysis of published research findings. Vigorous discussion among the class is expected each week.
