December Meeting

Monday 14 December 2009

Next meeting - 16 December, 1pm

Our next meeting is on 16 December 2009 (Wednesday) at 1pm in the 2nd floor meeting room. The paper up for discussion is:

Kurth et al
American Journal of Epidemiology, 2006; 163: 262-270
Results of Multivariable Logistic Regression, Propensity Matching, Propensity Adjustment and Propensity-based Weighting under Conditions of Nonuniform Effect

I've put together a few slides to get our discussion going - I thought that some points for discussion could include the benefits and disadvantages of different adjustment methods, and a consideration of what question we're asking of the data when we conduct analysis.

Hope to see you there! I'll bring some Christmas treats for us to snack on during the meeting. Let me know if you can't get a hold of the paper full text.
