Applied Analysis for HECOR II

Catalog description

This course is the third in a three-course series on applied statistics for health economics and clinical outcomes research. It will provide a survey of more advanced statistical methods with a focus on causal inference, i.e. methods designed to address research questions that concern the impact of some potential cause (e.g., a medical intervention, a change in treatment, economic conditions, or policies) on some outcome (e.g., time to event, comorbidity, health-care utilization and expenditures). Students will be introduced to propensity score theory and time-dependent statistics; they will also reinforce and apply the concepts and skills learned in HECO 521 and 522 on a data-analysis project.
