> Modern Statistical Methods in Epidemiology
>
> Four short courses will be held in the spring of 2001 designed to give
> in-depth knowledge of the principles and applications of modern
statistical
> methods in epidemiology, with a particular focus on Bayesian
implementation.
> There will be a large practical component to each course with time for
hands
> on data analysis. The courses are designed to be of interest to
researchers
> in areas such as biostatistics, epidemiology, medical geography and
> environmental science, together with public health specialists, regulators
> and other health-care professionals with an interest in understanding and
> applying advanced quantitative methods.

> Course outlines:

> 1. Bayesian hierarchical models
> This 3-day course covers the fundamentals of Bayesian inference; Markov
> chain Monte Carlo methods; the Gibbs sampler; MCMC in practice - its

> analysis of epidemiological data; and practical experience of using the
> WinBUGS software.

> 2. Longitudinal data analysis
> Course content: merits of longitudinal studies; understanding dependence
> structures in longitudinal data; marginal models; Bayesian hierarchical
> modeling -- random effects and dynamic models; age-period-cohort modeling;
> practical applications in epidemiology.

> 3. Spatial Epidemiology
> Course content: strengths and weaknesses of spatial studies; confounding;
> environmental exposures; ecological vs individual design; binomial and
> Poisson regression; analysis of point source studies; Bayesian approaches;
> spatially dependent random effects; Markov-random field models; disease
> clustering and cluster investigations; analysis of spatial data using the

> 4. Measurement Error Models
> Course content: linear measurement error models; classical and Berkson
error
