Summary of our second meeting on Oct 26

Many thanks to Karen Smith for her clear and informative seminar on the use and application of interrupted time series analysis. Karen has kindly allowed me to publish her Powerpoint slides online, so if you are interested in seeing her talk, it's just below this post. Our next meeting is on Wednesday, November 18 at 1pm. Nicola Fitz-Simons, who is based at NPEU, will be leading a seminar based on some of her methodological research.
Interrupted Time Series

Monday 12 October 2009

Seminar by Karen Smith

The next journal club will be led by Karen Smith, senior medican statistician at the Centre for Statistics in Medicine here in Oxford. Karen will be leading a discussion on interrupted time series analysis based on a paper she worked on, which was recently published in the BMJ. The paper can be found here:

Effect of withdrawal of co-proxamol on prescribing and deaths from drug poisoning in England and Wales: time series analysis

Please do join us for this talk and discussion - just to note that Karen will be giving her talk on Monday, October 26, NOT October 21 as we had previously scheduled. All seminars will take place from 1-2pm, 2nd floor meeting room, Rosemary Rue building.
