Description
Uses a "workshop" approach to teach advanced statistical techniques for epidemiologic data. Starts with a discussion of model-free methods, illustrated by the 2 by k table, and combining a series of 2 by 2 tables using weighted averages. Reviews estimation and likelihood methods. Discusses linear logistic analysis methods used to explore categorical data. Presents the biostatistical concepts of additivity, independence, confounding, and interaction in the context of logistic models
