NHS-R/NHS.pycom Online Conference Workshop 2023 – Introduction to Regression Modelling in R

Introduction to Regression Modelling in R with Chris Mainey

We are very excited to announce that the NHS-R Community will be hosting its annual conference, including pre-conference online talks, online workshops and the main conference, during October 2023. 

The online conference workshop will be hosted via Zoom and take place on the following date:

• Thursday 28th September 2023 – 1:30pm until 5:00pm (UK time)

Workshop Content

This workshop introduces regression and correlation analyses as analytical tools. We will explore how linear regression allows us to interpret the relationship between two variables. We will then expand this to include more variables, different types (such as categorical data), and examine the outputs of models. We will discuss assessing model quality and predictive accuracy.
We then introduce the Generalised Linear Model, and apply the principles of the earlier session to different kinds of data including count data and binary data. The final sections introduce how to use fitted models to predict outcomes and how that can be used.
