This month's MHRI-GHUCCTS Monthly Statistical Seminar Series will be held Friday, October 20, 2023, from 12 PM - 1 PM. This series features Dr. Paul Kolm, Associate Director in the Center for Biostatistics, Informatics, & Data Science (CBIDS) at MedStar Health Research Institute. 

This month's seminar will look at statistical analyses where the outcome variable is categorical: binary, ordinal or multinomial. These outcomes are typically analyzed by logistic regression. In addition, we will discuss analyses for count data (e.g., hospital ICU infections per month). As with linear regression, these analyses included assumptions about the relationships among variables – and we will look at the impact of violation of these assumptions.
