Aim: To give the participants a broad introduction to the application of statistical methods with special emphasis on a number of specific methodological areas like planning of surveys and analysis of survey data, decomposition of hierarchical variation, analysis of multidimensional tables of counts, and analysis of failure-time and survival data. After completion of the course the students are expected to be able to design and analyze a sample survey of a simple, structured population, to assess whether the variation in given data may be decomposed into hierarchically organised components, to analyze data from simple dose-response experiments, to assess the structure in data concerning lifetime and analogous phenomena.
Contents: Models for sampling variation: Sampling strategies, including stratified sampling and cluster sampling, ratio- and regression estimates. Models for analysis of hierarchical variation: Analysis of components of variation for the normal distribution and for simple one-dimensional distributions. Decomposition of compound distributions. Bayes theorem. Prior and posterior distribution of parameters. Empirical Bayes methods. Preposterior analysis. Model for analysis of categorical data: Simple dose-response models, logistic regression. Analysis of one dimensional. responses under crossed and under hierarchical models. Analysis of multidimensional. responses, log-linear models. Models for analysis of lifetime data: Lifetime distributions. Censored observations, survival tables. Analysis of models with proportional hazard linear effects of covariates.
