| Title |
PHS: Linear and Logistic Regression Modelling in R (Core Methods) |
| Description |
13. - 14. and 27. - 28.08.2026
This course provides an introduction to regression modeling in Public Health Sciences. Participants will learn the basic theoretical concepts and how to apply regression modelling in the context of their research. The course will focus on models for continuous (linear regression), binary (logistic regression), and categorical outcomes (multinomial and ordered logistic regression). Practical examples and exercises in R will accompany the course, enabling participants to apply the learned concepts effectively. Prior completion of the 'basic statistics and projects in R' and 'introduction to epidemiology and study design' courses (or similar courses) is recommended as they provide essential foundational knowledge for the course.
Special:
This course builds on the material covered in the courses ‘Basic Statistics and Projects in R’ and ‘Introduction to Epidemiology and Study Design’. Students should bring their own laptops with installed, recent versions of R and RStudio.
Registration and deregistration regulation: Registration for PHS courses is open until approximately two weeks before the course begins.
