Briefly about the course
The course will be based on the
book
by Per Kragh Andersen and Lene Theil Skovgaard
published by
Springer-Verlag (2010). The course will deal with both linear regression for
quantitative responses, logistic regression for binary responses and Cox
regression for survival time responses. It will discuss how the effects of
covariates are combined into a linear predictor when describing characteristics
of the response variable, e.g. the mean, the failure probability or the hazard
rate. It discusses two- and several-sample problems for all three types of
outcome (the t-test and one-way ANOVA, chi-square tests and logrank tests),
models with a linear effect or a non-linear effect (splines, polynomials) of a
single quantitative covariate , multiple regression models, models with
interaction as well as modeling strategies.
Forum lectures and computer exercises using primarily SAS though
participants who wish to use the R or STATA software are free to do so.
