Multiple Linear Regression, Logistic Regression & Survival Analysis
August 26 - 29, 2019 from 8.30am to 6.00pm
Venue: New Examination Hall,
Bagayam Campus, Adjacent to Canteen
Christian Medical College, Bagayam, Vellore 632 002.
This course is intended to improve participant's ability to conduct regression analyses and study
the relationship between response variable and multiple predictor variables. This course is also
intended to sharpen the skills of analyzing binary outcome data and interpreting regression
coefficients.
This course is targeted towards epidemiologist, biostatisticians, Demographers and other medical
researchers.
The primary bio-statistical tools in modern medical research are single-outcome, multiple-predictor
methods: multiple linear regressions for continuous outcomes, logistic regression for binary
outcomes, and the Cox proportional hazards model for time-to-event outcomes. Applying these
methods and interpreting the results requires some introduction. However, introductory statistics
courses have no time to spend on such topics. And therefore often neglected or misused by the
researchers. The Logistics regression and Survival analyses modules are time tested and the
concepts of Cox Proportional hazard model is made simple and understandable. The diagnostics
to study whether the model fits the data will also be imparted though good and bad examples.
Participants will have to bear their own expenses for travel, boarding and lodging. The
Organizers will provide Course kit, Lunch and Snacks. However, the organizers may arrange
basic accommodation with A/C facility in the college campus on request. Only limited
accommodation is available in the campus and priority will be given to the female participants.
Course Fee should be paid in full by August 19, 2019.
Payment can be made by Demand Draft in favor of “Christian Medical College Vellore
Association Account”, payable at Vellore.
Please use the attached “Application Format” for registration to be sent, along with the required
Demand Draft (DD).
Note: After Registration if cancelled the course fee will not be refunded. The number of
participants for each course is limited to 45 and admission will be purely on first come first
served basis.

Repeated measures: In medical research repeated measures (Longitudinal) data analyses are very common. Diabetes patients are followed periodically over time (every 6 month for example two years) to study the impact of treatment in HbA1c level. The usual regression analyses assumes that the repeated measure data is independent, while they are dependent (correlated) in nature. or the observations within an individual are correlated. Assuming independence while the observations are correlated would provide a narrow CI for the regression coefficients thus paving the way for highly significant results. Therefore the right analyses would be to capture the amount of correlation within the individual level and adjust that correlation in the regression analyses. This procedure is cal led Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE).
Multilevel models are basically regression models of data that have a hierarchical or clustered structure. Such kind of data arises routinely in many fields, for instance in growth studies (where students are nested within class rooms and class rooms are nested within schools. Thus the first level is class room and the higher level is school), family studies (with children nested within families), and in medical research (with patients nested within physicians or hospitals). Clustered data may also arise based on specific research design. For example, in large scale survey research the data collection is usually organised in some sort of multistage sampling design that results in clustered design. Hierarchical linear models, Random coefficient models, Variance component models or multilevel random coefficient models are other names for the multilevel models. Repeated measures analyses is a single level MLM.
Practicals and Software: Practical will be followed by a lecture and real time data will be used for practicals. Practicals will be taught using SPSS, MLWIN (copy will be provided) and STATA.
Who should attend: Biostatisticians/ Statisticians, Epidemiologists, Medical Researchers and Social Scientists who have basic knowledge in Regression analyses.
