Description
Advanced Biostatistics in SAS explores the use of statistical modeling for analysis of health and medical data. This course focuses on the analysis of data using a variety of regression and analysis of variance techniques, including: linear regression, logistic regression, proportional hazards regression, Poisson regression, generalized linear models, and causal inference. Examples and exercises throughout the course will utilize SAS and R. The primary emphases of the course will be on the theoretical basis for each modeling technique, the commands to run these tests using R and SAS, appropriate interpretation of the results, and techniques for building multivariable models.
