Regression Models as a Tool in Medical Research

The participants should become familiar with the basic concepts and techniques in using regression models in medical research in order to perform analyses of their own data, and to interpret, communicate and publish the results. They should also understand the basic potentials and limitations in using regression models and get some inspiration for a more effective and understandable use of regression models. All topics will be illustrated by examples from various fields of medical research like prognostic studies, epidemiological risk factor studies, experimental studies, diagnostic studies and observational studies.
Practical exercises will be based on Stata. A one year license of Stata 12 is included in the registration fee. Stata is available for Windows, Unix and Mac. For further details visit the Stata home page. Participants unfamiliar with Stata will get a short introduction prior to the course.
