THE EXPERT COURSE "REGRESSION ANALYSIS: APPLICATIONS WITH R AND AI"

Participants will be:

  - Equipped with a solid statistical foundation, encompassing the theoretical principles and practical applications of three core regression models: linear, logistic, and Cox regression.

  - Empowered to build R programming skills from foundational to advanced levels, with a strong emphasis on real-world data analysis across diverse scientific disciplines.

  - Guided in the systematic use of AI throughout the entire analytical workflow, including data processing, code generation, data visualization, interpretation of results, and research reporting.

  - Introduced to Machine Learning concepts in the context of regression analysis, enabling participants to understand the transition from statistical inference to prediction and prognostic modeling.

  - Encouraged to develop self-directed learning and adaptability, enabling participants to confidently expand their knowledge and skills in statistics and programming beyond the course.

The course is designed for:

  - Postgraduate students, master’s students, and doctoral candidates in health sciences, natural sciences, social sciences, economics, engineering, and related fields;

  - Early-career faculty members, researchers, and science administrators at universities, healthcare institutions, and research institutes;

  - Data analysts working in research organizations, hospitals, government agencies, or enterprises that require structured data analysis;

  - Physicians, pharmacists, and nurses who wish to conduct clinical or epidemiological research;

  - Individuals with a passion for scientific research seeking to enhance their knowledge of contemporary data analysis methodologies.
