Pre-Regression Modeling Strategies Workshop

Introduction to R, RStudio, Regression, and the R rms Package

The May 2024 course video will be available in early June at which time this page will be updated. The next course is planned for Monday May 13, 2024.

Even though the 4-day RMS course will not require you to use R interactively, those participants who wish to learn more about R or attain the regression knowledge prerequisite for the 4-day course may wish to take this optional one-day Pre-RMS workshop to enhance R and RStudio) skills, learn about multiple linear regression (a prerequisite for the 4-day course), and to get an introduction to the R rms package that will be used throughout the 4-day course.

The Pre-RMS course is given by Frank Harrell and moderated by Drew Levy.

Target Audience

  • Statisticians, epidemiologists, data scientists, and others engaged in analysis of quantitative data who want to learn some R programming and report writing skills using RStudio
  • Those with some exposure to statistics but who don’t have the general regression skills needed to fully benefit from the 4-day course and who are seeking to learn about simple linear and multiple linear regression models and regression notation
  • Those who want to get an introduction to a complete R Workflow for efficiently analyzing data in a reproducible fashion, using Quarto for creating html reports
