> THE COURSE
> Most courses on statistical modelling in epidemiology concentrate on
> the use of regression models to estimate causal effects while
> adjusting for measured confounders. These address uncertainty due to
> sampling error but not, in general, other sources of error and
> uncertainty which may arise from missing data, measurement error,
> uncontrolled confounding, and/or selection bias.
> Recent methodological advances make it feasible to incorporate at
> least some of these sources of error into statistical models so that
> quantitative assessments can be made of their impact on estimates of
> causal effect and the uncertainty around those estimates.
> The course will discuss the current state of the art with respect to
> these issues, while retaining a practical focus.
>  Participants will acquire awareness of the common threads across
> these new methods and competence in applying them in simple settings
> using /Stata/*.*
