Data Analysis Using Stata 2012-2013
 |
|
This training program, offered by the Epidemiology and Public Heatth (EPI), is geared toward medical doctors, veterinarians, scientists and engineers, be they French or foreign who want a practical training on the analysis of biomedical databases.
Presentation
Training courses are given in French.
In the classroom, 30 computers are available for the practical work.
Pre-requisite: Background in Epidemiology
The goal of this training program, consisting of three independent courses that can be followed separately, is to teach students the use of the STATA statistical package for the analysis (logistic regression and survival analysis) of biomedical databases.
Each of the 3 courses lasts 5 full days, including morning session on theory followed by practical work in the afternoon, during which students work independently on real databases using STATA.
Session 1: Stata commands and univariate statistical tests
Exploring a database, and checking the data quality and cleaning the database. Introduction to statistical tests in order to compare continuous and discrete variables within two or more groups. Calculation of the sample size.
Session 2: Logistic regression
Analysing a database and constructing a logistic regression model. Checking for confounding factors and how to deal with interaction will also be studied.
Session 3: Survival analysis and Cox model
Performing a survival analysis using STATA (non parametric method, semi-parametric Cox model and parametric survival models will be studied).
Full time, number of students : 30
