Causal Inference in Epidemiology: Recent Methodological Developments. Most courses on statistical modelling in epidemiology concentrate on the use of regression models to estimate causal effects while adjusting for measured confounders. These address uncertainty due to sampling error but not, in general, other sources of error and uncertainty which may arise from missing data, measurement error, uncontrolled confounding, and/or selection bias. Recent methodological advances make it feasible to incorporate at least some of these sources of error into statistical models so that quantitative assessments can be made of their impact on estimates of causal effect and the uncertainty around those estimates.
The proposed course will discuss the current state of the art with respect to these issues, while retaining a practical focus. Participants will acquire awareness of the common threads across these new methods and competence in applying them in simple settings. There will be no formal assessment. Participants will receive a Certificate of Attendance. SFdS | Société Française de Statistique. Présentation.

In survival analysis, the hazard ratio (HR) is the ratio of the hazard rates corresponding to the conditions described by two levels of an explanatory variable. For example, in a drug study, the treated population may die at twice the rate per unit time as the control population.
The hazard ratio would be 2, indicating higher hazard of death from the treatment. Or in another study, men receiving the same treatment may suffer a certain complication ten times more frequently per unit time than women, giving a hazard ratio of 10. Hazard ratios differ from relative risks in that the latter are cumulative over an entire study, using a defined endpoint, while the former represent instantaneous risk over the study time period, or some subset thereof. Hazard ratios suffer somewhat less from selection bias with respect to the endpoints chosen, and can indicate risks that happen before the endpoint.
