Teacher  Bagnardi Vincenzo, Università di Milano-Bicocca
Language Italian
CFU  1.25
Hours  10
Program  Sample size calculation is one of the basic steps in the planning of any clinical trial. With complex study designs (eg: adaptive studies) or not-standard statistical analyses (eg: mixed models), closed-form expressions or canned software for sample size calculation may not exist. In these situations, setting up a simulation study can solve the problem, allowing to find the optimal sample size for, virtually, any type of trial. The aim of this course is to provide the basis for the sample size calculation of a clinical study using a simulation-based approach. This course will mostly use SAS for empirical examples and exercises. Relevant R code will also be provided.

Program  Cardiotoxicity is defined as the occurrence of cardiac musolar or electric system disorders, during therapies for solid or blood cancers.
  In the last several years the focus changed on the effects of the drugs themselves on the heart and blood vessels. Moreover, with the introduction of TKI drugs, new types of toxicity emerged.
  It is therefore essential to stage correctly the patient before starting therapy to schedule a personalized follow-up in order to guarantee the greatest diffusion of care for these diseases.

Teacher  Salini Silvia, Università degli Studi di Milano  
Language Italian
CFU  1.25
Hours  10
Program  The aim of the course is to introduce the student to the knowledge of the fundamentals of robust statistics, in particular in the context of regression and in the context of multivariate statistical analysis. The presence of anomalous data often creates problems in the application of models that assume that the distributions are oulier free. A possible approach is to exclude outliers before applying the model. However, in many cases, especially in multivariate contexts, it is not easy to identify anomalous data. The robust statistics proposes alternative estimators to the traditional ones that are robust even in the presence of anomalous data. Along with a theoretical presentation, we will propose some applications and the use of a MATLAB package or some R functions that implement robust estimators in regression and in multivariate analysis.

Teacher  De Battisti Francesca, Università degli Studi di Milano
Language Italian
CFU  2
Hours  16
Program  Aim of the course is to introduce the student to the knowledge of the main features of structural equation models, in particular of the Partial Least Squares Path Modeling. These models allow to estimate the network of relationships existing among the manifest variables and their own latent variables, and among the latent variables inside the model. The method has great potentialities and different application fields: e.g. economic, psychological and medical. Along with a theoretical presentation, some applications will be proposed; in this way the student will learn to interpret the results of the analysis and to better evaluate the possibilities of the methodology.

Teacher  Laura Antolini, School of Medicine and Surgery
Language English
CFU  1.5
Hours  12
Program  Competing Risks and Multistate models are widely used in medical research when survival data involve composite outcomes with absorbing events (competing risks) and possible intermediate events (multistate). These models can be used to obtain risk prediction on future outcome development and to assess the prognostic impact of patient characteristics and therapeutic interventions on the outcome development.
  Prediction. The incidence function is generalized to competing risks data by its decomposition into absolute risks of each absorbing event. Absolute risks are called “crude probabilities” emphasizing the indirect protection that each absorbing event determines on the others. In the presence of multistate data, the intermediate events are included in the absolute risks which are called “state probabilities”, emphasizing that subjects may sojourn in intermediate states in the multistate process that takes to the absorbing events. 
  Prognostic Impact. The hazard function is generalized to competing risks data by its decomposition into cause specific hazard of each absorbing event. In the presence of multistate data, the intermediate events are included among the hazard functions that are called “transition hazard” between the states, to emphasize the motion among the intermediate and absorbing states.
  The course will deal first with the clinical questions and corresponding theoretical quantities. This link will be crucial to guide the student in the approach to estimation and inference to be adopted.

  Daniel Farewell, Reader in Statistics in the School of Medicine at Cardiff University, UK
Language English
CFU  3
Hours  32
Program  The general aim is to provide an introduction to statistical methods for the analysis of longitudinal and life history data. An emphasis will be given to the kinds of data arising in epidemiology and public health research, with some issues being specific to the analysis of data from clinical studies.
  We will begin with a focus on common approaches for the analysis of repeated measurements from individuals over common scheduled assessment times, including mixed effects models, generalized estimating equations, and autoregressive models. Models and methods will then be discussed for the analysis of life history data obtained from continuous observation of individuals who are subject to right-censoring. The assumptions justifying the various approaches to analysis will be highlighted, and the interpretation of covariate effects and other possible estimands will be emphasized.
  Recurring themes will include robustness, the implications of a dependence between the longitudinal or life history process and the observation process (i.e. missing data, censoring and informative observation mechanisms), and causal inference.
  Substantive examples from medical science will be used throughout the course to motivate the methods and illustrate the different interpretations given to estimates of intervention and other covariate effects. R code and selected output will be provided in worked examples.

Hours  12
Program  This course will give participants a basic understanding of the key concepts of meta-analysis. Student will be introduced to statistcal methods commonly used in meta-analysis (i.e. fixed and random effects models) to pool risk ratios, odds ratios and risk differences. Particular focus will be given to methods for heterogeneity assessment. Finally, methods for the meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy will also be introduced. RevMan software will be used for practical examples. By the end of this course, participants will be able to read and understand statistical methods and results reported in published meta-analyses.
