Course objectives | An introduction to the fundamentals of generalized regression models will be given in this course, with a focus on models for count, binary, and categorical data. These types of response variables are widely used in industrial applications as well as observational and experimental research. Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: • Describe the general structure of a GLM and similarities and differences with linear models • Estimate and interpret a logistic regression model • Estimate and interpret a Poisson regression model • Know of issues and some strategies for dealing with overdispersion in some generalised linear models (GLMs) |
Programme |
The course covers methods for regression analysis of responses that do not follow the normal distribution, especially of discrete responses. We will learn to understand some of the common statistical methods for fitting regression models to such data. In particular, we will consider logistic regression, Poisson regression and log-linear models. The lecture focuses on the development, theoretical justification, and interpretation of these methods. |

Contents: | Matlab is a numerical computing environment and high-level programming language. In the context of biomedical research, Matlab can be used to automate a wide variety of tasks, including record keeping, data analysis, and report generation. Matlab favors scripting, i.e., writing in a text file a sequence of commands that can be executed reliably and consistently. Used properly, this method can be orders of magnitude more efficient and error-proof than interactive sessions with the most common computing platforms (e.g., Excel, SPSS, etc.) A well-tested script can be seamlessly run against any number of datasets and applied to similar experimental situations. Importantly, the scripts themselves represent accurate documentation of the performed analyses. While a relatively steep learning curve is inevitable, especially in the absence of anyc omputer programming background, Matlab can be mastered in small, incremental steps. This mini course is intended as a general introduction to the concept of automated data analysis and report. The Matlab interface and the fundamentals of the scripting language will be presented first. A small set of common data analysis problems will then be tackled in the Matlab environment. Please note that the available time is not sufficient to provide a detailed, in-depth knowledge of the language. My goal is to demystify the technology and provide insight into what can be accomplished and what the main hurdles are. Further training will be required to become fully proficient. |

Drawing on our own experiences of field research in India, Brazil and Italy over the past decade, we will delve into the theories, practicalities and issues involved in doing participatory research. By sharing and discussing actual research examples and experiences, we will bring out theories of participatory social research, which value the researcher’s experience and positionality, and their relations in - and with - the field. The workshop will involve students’ active participation. Those who intend to participate will be asked to prepare a 3-minute ‘Show & Tell’ presentation to introduce themselves and their PhD project to the group through a photo, an object, a song, or a literary quote they deem representative of their research. They will also be asked to bring something to eat or drink to share with other colleagues during the World Café activity planned for the early afternoon. And a cup. |
