APPLIED REGRESSION MODELS IN EPIDEMIOLOGY

Graduate

This course is a component of the VHM 8120 course where students will learn how to develop and interpret regression models where the outcomes (or dependent variables) are continuous, categorical and discrete. They will learn how to develop those models and to critically interpret their results, statistically and epidemiological. The course will introduce the concepts of model building, confounding and interaction and model assessment. The course will use Stata/R to develop those models.
