Limited places remain for the following statistics courses organised by CASC at the UCL GOS Institute of Child Health<http://www.ucl.ac.uk/stats-courses> (please see details for funding opportunities below):
I<http://www.ucl.ac.uk/ich/short-courses-events/short-courses-events-publication/stats_stata/stats-stata>ntroduction to Survival/Time-to-event data analysis<http://www.ucl.ac.uk/ich/short-courses-events/short-courses-events-publication/stats_survival/stats-survival> - 3 May 2018 - £150
What are Kaplan-Meier curves and how to create survival curves? You will know the answers to these questions (as well as more) by the end of this course where we focus on time-to-event data/analysis (commonly know as survival data/analysis)
C<http://www.ucl.ac.uk/ich/short-courses-events/short-courses-events-publication/stats_stata/stats-stata>ritical Appraisal<http://www.ucl.ac.uk/ich/short-courses-events/short-courses-events-publication/stats_critical-appraisal/stats-critical_appraisal> - 8 May 2018 - £150
A great one-day refresher on what to look out for when reading research papers (from a statistical point of view!). It assumes no previous knowledge of statistics and sets the scene for adhering to formal publication guidelines.
Reliability and Validity<http://www.ucl.ac.uk/ich/short-courses-events/short-courses-events-publication/Stats-RelVal/stats-RelVal> - 10 May 2018 - £150
This one-day course offers an introduction to the principles, methods of assessment, and the appropriateness of statistical analyses for different types of measurement validity and reliability. Particular focus is given to statistical assessment of reliability over time, context and rater.
Dealing with Missing data<http://www.ucl.ac.uk/ich/short-courses-events/short-courses-events-publication/stats_missingData/stats-missingData> - 15 (+optional 16) May 2018 - £150 (£225)
Missing data are an unavoidable menace for all studies. Join us at this course to find out how to deal with holes in your dataset and how the various 'solutions' compare to each other.
Regressions with R<http://www.ucl.ac.uk/ich/short-courses-events/short-courses-events-publication/stats_regrR/stats-regrR> - 21+22 May 2018 - £250
R users that want to know about how to apply the most commonly seen types of regressions in R will find this course very useful as they will be given the opportunity to fit models based on real data and put emphasis on their interpretation and goodness of fit.
Sample size estimation and power calculations<https://ucl.us16.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b3ee52b162c0a8bd1d227c40a&id=b90c2799f9&e=42c9f04085> - 24 May 2018 - £175
Are you wondering what the right sample size for your study is? Have you been told that it's ok to have 20 or 30 cases? Different research questions will require different sample size calculations. There is no magic number that works for every project. Join us at this course to find out how to estimate the required sample size for your study based on power and precision calculations.
ANOVA/General Linear Models in SPSS<http://www.ucl.ac.uk/ich/short-courses-events/short-courses-events-publication/stats-ANOVA/stats_ANOVA> - 5 June 2018 - £150
Have you ever wondered what ANOVA stands for? There are few extensions to it too, one-way, factorial, multivariate, repeated measures, etc. We discuss all these types of ANOVA whilst fitting all the models on SPSS.
Chi-square and beyond<http://www.ucl.ac.uk/ich/short-courses-events/short-courses-events-publication/stats_2by2/stats-2by2> - 6 June 2018 - £125
Join us to demystify the range of statistics that can be used to summarise the associations between two binary variables. We move on from the standard chi-square test to investigate other options that may yield more useful information; these include Fishers exact testing, Absolute Risk Reduction (ARR), Kappa, Sensitivity and specificity and more.
Funding opportunities:
The ESRC wishes to improve the standards of research methods and to stimulate the uptake of high quality training courses in research methods across the UK social science community. The bursaries, for up to £750 each, enable staff in the UK social science community engaged in research, teaching research methods or supervising research to update their research skills. Contract researchers working in HEIs are also eligible for the bursaries.
