Advanced Biostatistics – Multivariate analyses (1 Credit Hour)

Event Date : 15/01/2025 - 14/02/2025
Start 15 Jan 2025

COURSE DATE: 15 JANUARY 2025

Inferences made about association and causation primarily depends up on application of epidemiological data to rigorous statistical analyses of data on putative factors that are linked with the outcome variable. This module builds up on the application of concepts of biostatistics and interpret the associations of an outcome variable with several independent variables to assess the strength and direction of association models.

  1. Appraise the causality between outcome variable and several exposure variables in terms of collinearity, effect modifiers, and confounding factors.
  2. Propose an appropriate modelling strategy to select variables, identify interaction and linear trends, and r elate results from multivariable analysis to those from table – based techniques
