Dear Allstat members,
We are offering our popular 4 day "Introduction to Statistical Programming" course from 29th October to 1st November 2018 at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King' s College London.
For more information and course fees please see: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/ioppn/depts/biostatisticshealthinformatics/teaching/courses/prediction-modelling-.aspx
COURSE AIM
To understand the theoretical basis of programming, and to apply this knowledge to a diverse range of practical problems. To relate general concepts in programming to language-specific instances in R and STATA.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Subject-specific: Knowledge, Understanding and Skills
At the end of the course the students should be able to demonstrate subject-specific knowledge, understanding and skills and have the ability to:
* Develop a theoretical understanding of the basics of programming;
* Understand the use and usefulness of conditionals, iterations, and functions;
* Identify appropriate methods for solving particular data manipulation problems;
* Formulate sensible programming solutions for a data set, and demonstrate an ability to check the correctness of one's manipulations;
* Become an independent user of R and Stata, in finding help online, and demonstrate how to select appropriate packages for one's problems.
General: Knowledge, Understanding and Skills.
On successful completion of this course the student should be able to:
* Understand and explain basic programming concepts;
* Justify and critique the use of programming solutions for real life applications;
* Show confidence in the use of R and Stata in manipulating data sets for real life application;
* Communicate ideas effectively and professionally by written, oral and visual means;
* Study autonomously and undertake activities with minimum guidance;
* Select and properly manage information drawn from books, journals, and the internet;
* Interact effectively in a group.
