07-10.07.20267th RUHR School of Modern Epidemiology
Applied Epidemiologic Analysis for Causal Inference - Guest speaker: Prof. Katherine Lesko, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, United States. The four-day RUHR School will derive the theoretical foundations of causal inference. In practical “paper and pencil” exercises and hands-on computer labs (either R or SAS), the principles of causal inference are applied and deepened on concrete data sets. The goal is for participants after the RUHR School to be able to practically apply the methods of causal inference in their concrete empirical studies with the theoretical understanding of causal inference. Causal inference topics include, among others: causal identification conditions, target quantities, potential outcomes, structural causal models (including DAGs), target trial framework, estimands framework, target population principle, g-methods, inverse probability weighting and g-computation. The RUHR School is of interest to anyone who wants to draw causal conclusions based on empirical data and is important for clinical research, epidemiological research, medical data science and machine learning.
