Description and contents
The idea of the seminar is innovative and unique. Pairs consisting of one Master student of Statistics and one Master student of Epidemiology/Public Health will be built. Both together will work on a statistical paper and an epidemiological paper on a given topic (for example, statistical modelling of infectious diseases, vaccine efficacy, longitudinal data, high dimensional multi-omics data, prognostic models, etc), and present them orally.
The aim of the seminar is the intercommunication between master students of Statistics and master students of Epidemiology/Public Health and the reciprocal knowledge transfer. Students will understand the content and methodical perspective of each others’ specific field and ideally will be inspired by each others’ motivation.
Topics and papers will be offered by the instructor. Optionally, students are invited to suggest additional topics related to statistical methods in epidemiology and forward them to the instructor in advance.
ECTS
