The course aims to provide a grounding in statistical concepts and methods
for the analysis of data where individuals are followed over time.
Participants should have knowledge of regression analyses and their
implementation in Stata of at least the level achieved in the Introduction
to Regression Models course (visit www.epi.bris.ac.uk/shortc/shortc.htm for
details of this course).
Topics covered will include: definition of rates and relations 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.
Teaching will make up a total of twelve hours, composed of lectures,
computer practicals using Stata and group work.
