Block 3
Section outline
-
In block 3, we will focus essentially on multivariable regression models.
We will present the 3 uses of these models in clinical and epidemiological research: descriptive, predictive, and causal models.
Of note : often descriptive models are just the first step in the statistical analysis, then according to the main scientific question, the model is targeted toward a predictive or causal aim.
We will also provide some guidance on performance evaluations in the context of predictive models and on sample size in a multivariable setting.
