- Introduction to SAS
- Binary logistic regression
- ROC curve
- Potential confounding factors
- Quality of models
- Automatic variable selection
- Missing data
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The objective of the course is to introduce, practically, multivariate statistical methods frequently used in epidemiology. At the end of the course, the student must be able to present the problem, apply the analysis using the SAS software and expose clearly the derived results .He must also be able to understand the presentation of multivariate methods in the scientific literature.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Prerequisite: STAT1750-1 or good knowledge of multivariate statistical analysis.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The practical sessions consist in analysing mulltivariate datasets by means of the statistical package SAS.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Face-to-face course
Additional information:
Each course will switch between theory and practice with the SAS software. One lesson will be dedicated to an introduction of this software.
