Prerequisites
Student should be familiar with the following topics: fundamentals of the probability theory; vector and matrix algebra; random variable, its distribution and characteristics; hypothesis testing; linear model.
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is offered to students of any study field.
Course objectives
At the end of this course, a student should be able to:
define various types of regression models;
design and build up a regression model suitable for the particular problem;
evaluate a fit of the proposed model;
interpret results of the regression analysis;
Syllabus
  • Repetition of relevant biostatistical topics.
  • Concepts in regression modelling: regression modelling strategies, assumptions of linear regression model, independent variables, setup and performance the analysis, interpretation and evaluation of the assumptions.
  • Logistic and Poisson regression models.
  • Mixed model.
  • Non-linear modelling.
  • Validation of the predictive regression model.
  • Regression models in survival analysis, the role of maximum likelihood, tools for the assessment of a model fit.
  • Cox proportional hazards model. Tools for the evaluiation of Cox model assumptions, stratification.
  • Selected topics in survival analysis: multi-state models, frailty models.

Teaching methods
Lectures focused on theoretical aspects as well as practical applications. Practices in a computer room focused on practical regression modelling in R software.
Assessment methods
There is one short test during the term. Students should work up a project concerning one practical application of regression modelling. The course is finished with both written and oral exam.
