The course aims to provide a grounding in statistical concepts and
methods for the analysis of data where individuals are followed over
time. The course is intended for participants with a knowledge of
regression analyses and their implementation in Stata of at least the
level acheived in the 'Introduction to Regression Models' course
(places still available).
Topics to be covered are: definition of rates and relation between
risks and rates, manipulating person-time data in Stata using the st
commands, analysis of rates using Mantel-Haenszel methods and Poisson
regression, splitting follow up time to allow for exposures which
change with time, introduction to survival analysis, log rank tests and
Cox proportional hazards regression, graphical displays for survival
analysis.
