Modeling and Analysis of Categorical Data with Overdispersion (1 Day Course) - Continuing Education - Course
ASA, Biopharmaceutical Section
Instructor(s): Jorge G. Morel, Procter & Gamble Company, Nagaraj K. Neerchal, University of Maryland, Baltimore County
The aim of the course is to present a general overview of the phenomenon of overdispersion relative to the binomial/multinomial and Poisson distributions, as well as to provide different methods (quasi-likelihood, likelihood, generalized estimating equations, and generalized linear mixed models) to cope with this problem. Several practical examples will be shown to illustrate the available methodology to model categorical data with overdispersion. Some of the main examples will be analyzed using the SAS Procedures GENMOD and SURVEYLOGISTIC, and the SAS Macro GLIMMIX. The course is at the level of an Applied Masters Degree. It will be also accessible to those with a Bachelors Degree and adequate work experience. Basic knowledge of the binomial, Poisson and multinomial distributions, logistic and Poisson regressions, maximum likelihood estimation and Fisher's information matrix is needed. Introductory knowledge of SAS would be helpful to take full advantage of the SAS codes and the annotated outputs.
