The University of Bristol ,School of Social and Community Medicine are running the following course
Advanced Epidemiological and Statistical Studies 25/06/2012 to 29/06/2012
Course aims and objectives
To provide a grounding in the concepts and analysis of life-course data, measurement error, clustered data, missing data and causal models. By the end of the course students should:
Understand the concepts of additive and multiplicative interactions and use Stata to explore these concepts;
Describe the impact of non-linearities on exposure-disease associations and conduct analyses to assess the effect of non-linearities on exposure-disease associations
Understand the potential causes of measurement error, how to minimise and monitor these in study design, and how to incorporate information about measurement error into analyses;
Understand how clustered data arise, the impact this may have on usual methods of analysis, and be able to carry out simple appropriate analyses using Stata;
Understand the problems caused by missing data, and be able to carry out exploratory analyses, imputation and sensitivity analyses using Stata;
Use a causal diagram to assess possible causal pathways, and understand models for exploring causality using observational data
