We will develop the intuition behind the method before connecting this to the statistical framework and the practicalities of model fitting. The goal is to convey a working understanding of what linear mixed models are\, when to use them\, and how to get started.Before the seminar\, a limited number of sandwiches and drinks will be served on a “First come – first served” basis starting 12:00.

Welcome to CRASHSTAT\, an online course in essential statistics for medical and biological research.\r\n\r\nThe Center for Bioinformatics and Biostatistics is pleased to introduce CRASHSTAT\, a comprehensive introduction / refresher online course\, structured as 2-hour lectures one day per week during a coherent period\, starting October 7\, 2026.\r\n\r\nRegister here\nhttps://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=8e73v0vPMk--PaHdoEPAXeFTlCCPOR9NoH2Z4IUS3MhUQUpLSU1BOERYVjM4TklFSTAxRVRHR0RUNC4u\r\n\r\nCourse fee: 2000 SEKAbout the course\r\n\r\nEach lecture addresses critical themes in statistics applied to medicine and biology. Designed to reinforce and expand your statistical knowledge\, this series of lectures is aimed at those looking to bridge theoretical gaps and gain proficiency in understanding statistical methods and interpreting analysis results.&\;nbsp\;No previous knowledge in statistics is needed\, but researchers with some basic experience will benefit most. Lectures will follow a track\, but participants can join individual lectures standalone.There will mostly be a focus on theoretical aspects\, with examples in the medical practice/research\, i.e\, no programming will be conducted. However\, the lecturers will provide some very general instructions on what to do with the main statistical programs (R\, Stata\, SPSS). In summary\, no programming expertise or software needed for the course.\r\n\r\nDatesTime: 15:00-17:00&\;nbsp\;October 7 (Descriptive statistics\, sampling\, data visualization and cross-sectional studies)&\;nbsp\;October 14 (Hypothesis testing / Power calculation)October 21 (Non-parametric statistics)November 4&\;nbsp\;(Regression models: linear\, logistic)&\;nbsp\;November 11&\;nbsp\;(Survival analysis / cohort studies)&\;nbsp\;November 18 (Design your first randomized controlled trial (RCT)Lectures will be introduced by a clinical epidemiology example.Practical informationFormat: Online (link will be provided upon confirmation)Cost:&\;nbsp\;The fee for the course is 2000 SEK (regardless of whether you participate on one occasion or all occasions)Cancellation: Must be submitted two weeks before the start of the course in order to get a refund of the course fee.Questions:&\;nbsp\;Please send an email to&\;nbsp\;cbb@ki.se&\;nbsp\;\r\n\r\nPlease note that location\, time and information can be updated on the website.\r\nhttps://news.ki.se/calendar/cbb-presents-crashstat-course-essential-statistics-for-medical-and-biological-research CREATED:20260615T081100Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260826T100216Z STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:CBB presents: CRASHSTAT course - essential statistics for medical and biological research END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20261008T070000Z DTEND:20261009T134500Z DTSTAMP:20260905T145855Z UID:237859 DESCRIPTION:From Data to Impact: Epidemiology and Biostatistics in a Changing Climate – A cross-disciplinary conference on methods\, data\, and communication in climate and health research\r\n\r\nThe 2026 SFOepi Conference will take place on 8–9 October at the beautiful Vår Gård in Saltsjöbaden.
