EXTENDED USE OF REGRESSION MODELS FOR NEW EPIDEMIOLOGIC DESIGNS AND ANALYSES

9-13 September 2018 - Residential Course

Ponte di Legno, Brescia, Italy



FACULTY:

Prof. Marie Reilly, Karolinska Institutet, Dept. of Medical Epidemiology
and Biostatistics

Prof. Chuen Seng Tan, Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health, National
University of Singapore



ABSTRACT:

The overall aim of this course is to present approaches to statistical
design and analysis that enable researchers to design more efficient
epidemiological studies and to better utilize available data from
well-defined cohorts (such as those deriving from national health
registers, electronic medical records or clinical studies).

The course will compare and contrast different sampling designs and the
various parameter estimates they can yield by careful “reconstruction” of
the underlying cohort or extensions to the regression models used.

In particular, the course will show how variations of the case-control
design can produce efficient and unbiased estimates of the hazard ratio and
other quantities, and how the concepts of matching from classical
epidemiological studies can be extended to studies of continuous outcomes.

The course will demonstrate the application of these methods in designing
studies to make efficient use of costly data and to conduct more flexible
and informative analysis.



Lectures will be interspersed with tutorials consisting of exercises,
“journal club” sessions and workshops. In the workshops, participants may
(i) develop and refine a study design to address a clinical/epidemiological
research question or (ii) implement some method(s) on their own data in a
supervised laboratory session.
