Regression Analysis May 2018

This course considers both theoretical backgrounds and practical aspects of modeling data with regression models. The focus is on linear and logistic regression models, although other models, like Poisson models or non linear regression models for continuous data will also be discussed.

Included topics are: simple linear regression, multiple linear regression, variance and covariance analysis (using a regression approach), adjustments for confounding, interaction, polynomial and other non linear regression models, logistic regression, goodness-of-fit, multivariate modeling, conditional logistic regression, generalized linear regression models, and the building of prediction models.

All statistical methods are practiced, using SPSS.

Pre-requirements: basic knowledge of statistics (e.g. the Boerhaave course Basic methods and reasoning in Biostatistics).Teaching environment

Registration everyday between:  09.00 - 09.30 (lecture hall 4)

Every morning we convene for lectures and discussions. Every afternoon all participants work on the exercises for that day on their own PCs/laptops.

At the end of the day, solutions are discussed during a general session of approximately one hour.

All exercises and data are available on the website of the course. For at most 20 participants from outside the LUMC it is possible to work on the exercises in a workshop room, but they are required to bring their own laptop for practicals where SPSS is installed; all LUMC participants should make sure they have access to SPSS and should work on their own PCs at any location convenient for them. The latest version of SPSS is required.
