THE COURSE

A five-day intensive course provides theoretical and practical training for epidemiologists, and those from related disciplines, in statistical modelling with particular emphasis on logistic regression and survival analysis.  Logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards models have become standard methods for regression analysis in the health sciences.

Introduction to logistic regression (Days 1-2)

This segment will be led by Associate Professor Leigh Blizzard.  It will cover the concepts presented in chapters 1-4 of Applied Logistic Regression, but with a focus on gaining practical experience in the use of logistic regression.  Teaching examples will illustrate the model and methods.  Participants will have the opportunity to do practical exercises using either Stata statistical software or their own preferred software.

Survival analysis in epidemiologic research (Days 3-5)

This segment will be led by Professor David Hosmer.  It will cover material from Applied Survival Analysis:  regression modelling of time to event data in some depth.  Participants lacking a sound grasp of logistic regression methods and modelling techniques, and those in need of a refresher, are strongly advised to attend the first segment of the course (Day's 1-2).  Instruction and practical work will be conducted using Stata software.
