Advanced statistical modelling

This module will provide an introduction to some advanced statistical modelling methods commonly used in epidemiological research, including multilevel models (that allow the study of influences on health that operate at different levels, such as the study of associations between area characteristics and health of individuals), principal components models (used to form new variables which are linear composites of the original variables), factor analysis models (used to develop scales which measure latent or unobservable constructs), path models and an introduction to structural equation models (that allow the testing of complex models involving hypothesized pathways between risk factors and disease).
