Many investigators have to analyze field or experimental data.
The tools and the techniques, which can be used to manage, manipulate and analyze data, have only become widely accessible over the last 15 years. The main emphasis of the course will be the use of analytical techniques in epidemiological data analysis. It will also teach the basic concepts of modern quantitative epidemiology. The course will comprise a combination of lectures and hands-on sessions. The latter will be conducted in a computer laboratory and participants will be guided through a series of exercises based on the content of the lectures.
