Course Information

Description

Course Description
This course will examine, through practical examples, the use of regression methods for analyses of epidemiologic data, primarily case-control and cohort studies. Methods used will include linear, logistic, Poisson, conditional logistic, and Cox regression models. Matched analysis for case-control and cohort studies will also be covered. The lectures will focus on the principle ideas and issues underlying the regression analyses, and the computer labs will provide practical experience applying those methods, using R software (two identical sessions for each). Issues to be dealt with include dose-response, confounding, violation of standard assumptions, and interaction. It will emphasize analysis and interpretation of results in the context of the study design. Familiarity with basic R is required.

Course Activities: Written group projects, class discussion, quizzes, homework.

Course Note: Computer lab is required, please sign up for one lab session when registering.

Course Pre-requisites: (BST210 (concurrent enrollment allowed) or BST213 or PHS2000A/B) and (EPI200 or EPI201 or EPI208 or EPI505) and EPI202
