ÌýNOTE:ÌýThis course will be delivered in hybrid mode, i.e. the in-person lecture will be transmitted live on zoom. The face-to-face part of the hybrid courses will go ahead conditional on at least 5 participants registering for this mode of delivery. Few classes may be delivered exclusively online, so please check under the Future dates tab for clarification. The online part of the class will be supported by its own dedicated teaching staff (along with the lead lecturer), therefore participants can expect the same level of group and individual support as the face-to-face class. You will be able to choose your preferred mode of attendance (face-to-face or online) during registration.

Additionally, we now offer this as aÌýself-paced, online courseÌýthat you can register for and start at any time.ÌýClick below under the 'Online/Self-Paced Materials' tabÌýto registerÌýand gain access:

Details

Binary (proportion/percentage) outcomes are common in medical and scientific research and cannot be validly analysed using basic linear regression analysis. It is important to understand how to analyse these types of outcomes appropriately to ensure useful and valid conclusions are drawn from data. The logistic regression course covers the following key topics:

  • Odds ratios as a means of comparing binary outcomes between two groupsÌýÌý
  • How logistic regression allows for other factors within this comparisonÌýÌý
  • The basics of logistic regressionÌýÌý
  • Model selection and goodness-of-fit with applied examplesÌý
  • Interpretation of SPSS output

Feedback

"I thought this course was excellent and the speaker was fantastic."

"I got a great deal from the day because I had previously studied logistic regression on my own - the course helped consolidate my understanding. The lecturer showed much enthusiasm for the topic and had a very friendly personality. I was a teacher and lecturer myself for 33 years and could have learnt much from her presentation skills! The course was excellent value for money"

"The course was appropriately structured. Teaching quality was superb. I am very much looking forward to attending further sessions here."

"The course is well designed. The pace is pitched at the right level. The tutor was excellent. Her style of interactive teaching was very effective. Her lectures were very clear. She was engaging and was able to explain some of the difficult concepts in a simplified manner."
