BIOS 637
Advanced Modeling: Survival and Other Multivariable Data.
Credits: 4
Offered by: Epidemiology and Biostatistics (Graduate Studies)
This course is not offered this catalogue year.
Description
Advanced applied biostatistics course dealing with flexible modeling of non-linear effects of continuous covariates in multivariable analyses, and survival data, including e.g. time-varying covariates and time-dependent or cumulative effects. Focus on the concepts, limitations and advantages of specific methods, and interpretation of their results. In addition to 3 hours of weekly lectures, shared with epidemiology students, an additional hour/week focuses on statistical inference and complex simulation methods. Students get hands-on experience in designing and implementing simulations for survival analyses, through individual term projects.
- Restriction(s): Graduate students in Biostatistics or Math/Stat programs, or permission of the instructor.
- Students are expected to have a good understanding of multivariable regression and basic knowledge of survival analysis.
Most students use Visual Schedule Builder (VSB) to organize their schedules. VSB helps you plan class schedules, travel time, and more.
