The training in data analytics and statistical modeling will equip participants with practical skills through direct experience and practice. Sample datasets and code will be provided to facilitate practical work and immerse participants in real-world contextual analysis. A dataset will be supplied by the trainer for use during the sessions. Group work will also be organized to engage participants in analyzing, interpreting, and making recommendations based on a real-life dataset related to a public health challenge. Group work manuscripts will be submitted, and corrections for the exercises will be provided and discussed with participants.<\/p>\n<p>This training aims to provide participants with high-quality skills to master the R software package for data analysis and statistical modeling, particularly in the context of operational and implementation research related to malaria. We are confident that this workshop will advance the career development and capacity building of prospective trainees and significantly strengthen the technical and communication skills of early-career researchers interested in modeling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DATE AND TIME <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>October 3rd to 5th, 2024, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM CAT.<\/p>\n<p><strong>VENUE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Blue Work, Rue Ceper, Yaound\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TARGET AUDIENCE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>University students<\/li>\n<li>Postdocs<\/li>\n<li>Researchers<\/li>\n<li>Healthcare practitioners<\/li>\n<li>NMCP (National Malaria Control Program)<\/li>\n<li>CBOs (Community-Based Organizations)<\/li>\n<li>Local NGOs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Note: Priority will be given to registered local chapter members.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>PROGRAM <\/strong><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"259\"><strong>Day 1 (hands-on) <\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"259\"><strong>Day 2 (hands on) <\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"259\"><strong>Day 3 (hands on) <\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"259\"><strong><u>Morning session<\/u><\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0General orientation and introduction to statistics<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0Vectors<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0Matrices<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0Dataframes<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Afternoon Session<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0Installing packages<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0setting working directory and Importing data into R (xls, csv etc)<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0Data visualization (base plots)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td width=\"259\"><strong><u>Morning session<\/u><\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0Data wrangling\/data cleaning<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0Missing data<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0One sample t.test and<\/p>\n<p>Two sample t.test<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Afternoon session<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0One sample and two sample Test of proportion<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0Chi-square test<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0Odds ratio, and confidence interval<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0Pearson Correlation<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Group project <\/strong>\u2013 exercise on real life data with propose engaging solutions from participants<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td width=\"259\"><strong><u>Morning session<\/u><\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0Linear regression models (simple One way Anova<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0Two way Anova<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0and multiple)<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0Logistic regression model<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Afternoon session<\/u><\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0Poisson regression model<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0Survival analysis<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0Non-parametric tests<\/p>\n<p>(Sign test, Wilcoxon<\/p>\n<p>Rank Test, KruskalWallis test, Friedman test)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Group project <\/strong>\u2013 exercise on real life data with propose engaging solutions from participants<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EVENT PRESENTATION This will be a 3-day hands-on workshop centered on the R software package.
