The course will consist of a series of modules covering the main multivariable analytic techniques used in veterinary epidemiology: linear regression (continuation from 1st course), logistic regression, Poisson / negative binomial regression, study design and validity issues (selection, misclassification and confounding bias), survival analysis, dealing with clustered data and interpreting ecologic study results. Material will be presented as a mixture of lectures and computer-based laboratories.
The course will be based on the the book Veterinary Epidemiologic Research (http://www.upei.ca/ver) written by the teachers in the course
