Corso di Multistate models and Competing risks in R, 15-16 ottobre 2018

Competing Risks and Multistate models are widely used in medical research when survival data involve composite outcomes with absorbing events (competing risks) and possible intermediate events (multistate). These models can be used to obtain risk prediction on future outcome development and to assess the prognostic impact of patient characteristics and therapeutic interventions on the outcome development.

Prediction – The incidence function is generalized to competing risks data by its decomposition into absolute risks of each absorbing event. Absolute risks are called “crude probabilities” emphasizing the indirect protection that each absorbing event determines on the others. In the presence of multistate data, the intermediate events are included in the absolute risks which are called “state probabilities”, emphasizing that subjects may sojourn in intermediate states in the multistate process that takes to the absorbing events.

Prognostic Impact – The hazard function is generalized to competing risks data by its decomposition into cause specific hazard of each absorbing event. In the presence of multistate data, the intermediate events are included among the hazard functions that are called “transition hazard” between the states, to emphasize the motion among the intermediate and absorbing states.

The course will deal first with the clinical questions and corresponding theoretical quantities. This link will be crucial to guide the student in the approach to estimation and inference to be adopted.

STATISTICALPS, 9-13 September 2018, Ponte di Legno, Brescia, Italy

STATISTICALPS: Summer course on medical statistics in the Alps, 8th edition

 

EXTENDED USE OF REGRESSION MODELS FOR NEW EPIDEMIOLOGIC DESIGNS AND ANALYSES
9-13 September 2018 – Residential Course
Ponte di Legno, Brescia, Italy

 

FACULTY:
Prof. Marie Reilly, Karolinska Institutet, Dept. of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics
Dr. Chuen Seng Tan, Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health, National University of Singapore

 

ABSTRACT:
The overall aim of this course is to present approaches to statistical design and analysis that enable researchers to design more efficient epidemiological studies and to better utilize available data from well-defined cohorts (such as national health registers or electronic medical records). The course will compare and contrast different sampling designs and the various parameter estimates they can yield by careful “reconstruction” of the underlying cohort or extensions to the regression models used. In particular, the course will show how variations of the case-control design can produce efficient and unbiased estimates of the hazard ratio and other quantities, and how the concepts of matching from classical epidemiological studies can be extended to studies of continuous outcomes. The course will demonstrate the application of these methods in designing studies to make efficient use of costly data and to conduct more flexible and informative analysis.

Summer School on Modern Methods in Biostatistics Treviso Italy June 3-16, 2018

The 2018 edition of the Summer School on Modern Methods in Biostatistics and Epidemiology provides introductory and advanced courses in medical statistics and epidemiology, and their application in etiology research and public health. Courses last one week (except for Stata courses, held on the two Sundays, which last one day each).
Both introductory and more advanced one-day courses on Stata will be offered. Students can attend for a day, one week, or two weeks.

The school will be held from June 3 to June 16, 2018 at CastelBrando, Cison di Valmarino, Treviso, Italy.

Deadline for early registration is March 21 2018.

Annuncio Corso

Anche quest’anno la Società Italiana di Biometria, (IBS – Italian Region), ha il piacere di annunciare il “27° CORSO DI METODOLOGIA STATISTICA PER LA RICERCA BIOLOGICA DI BASE ED APPLICATA” che si terrà a Gargnano del Garda dal 9 al 15 Ottobre. Si tratta di un corso residenziale coordinato dal collega Federico Ambrogi responsabile delle iniziative didattiche della SIB. Da anni il corso rappresenta un appuntamento di successo sia per gli operatori di area biomedica che vogliano approfondire tematiche di statistica medica con gli esperti del settore, sia per giovani statistici che si vogliano avvicinare alla disciplina della biostatistica.
