Dear Friends,
Greetings from Vellore. The Biostatistics Resource and Training Center, Department of Biostatistics at Christian Medical College, Vellore is glad to announce the commencement of thirty-seventh Short course in Biostatistics. The course is scheduled from May 28 – June 07, 2018.
The course is mainly designed to train researchers of varied profession and statisticians to competently handle health/medical data and be in a better position to function effectively in a research team.
Christian Medical College has conducted series of workshops in collaboration with faculty from McMaster University, Canada and University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, USA since 1996. The course materials of those workshops are incorporated in this program.
The current Courses is:
Course Date Last Date
Multiple Linear Regression, Logistic Regression & Survival Analysis May 28-June 01, 2018 May 21, 2018
Multilevel Modeling (MLM) and Longitudinal / Repeated Measure data analyses using Linear Models & Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE)
June 04 - 07, 2018 May 28, 2018
The number of participants for each course is limited to 45, and admission will be purely on first come first served basis. Attached herewith and brochure and registration form and also it can be downloaded from our website: www.cmc-biostatistics.ac.in I will be very happy to provide more information, if necessary.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Dr. L. Jeyaseelan Course Coordinator

Course Fee : Rs. 5,000/-
Multiple Linear Regression, Logistic Regression & Survival Analysis
May 28 - June 01, 2018 Venue: Biostatistics Resource and Training Center (BRTC),
Department of Biostatistics, (Adjacent to College Chapel),
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.
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

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.
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.
