Workshop on "Improved design and analysis of nested case-control and case-cohort studies"

Over the last decades important methodological advances have been made for designing and analysing nested case-control and case-cohort studies. While some of these methodologies need further developments before they can be widely used, others have matured to a level that makes them ready to use in epidemiological practice. The focus of the workshop is on the methodologies that are ready to use. The workshop is aimed at biostatisticians and epidemiologists who work with population registry data and large cohorts studies. It is assumed that the participants are familiar with cohort and classical case-control studies and the regression models used to analyse them (logistic regression and Cox regression).

 

Time and place: – , Nye Auditorium 13, Domus Medica

Registration

For the workshop we will serve coffee/tea/refreshments in a break and also a light lunch. For this reason we would like to register the participants. So if you would to like to attend the workshop, please send an email to Nathalie Støer (email: nathalcs@math.uio.no) no later than August 15th. We may have to limit the number of participants, and in that case the first to register will be given priority. However, there is no charge for attending.
