Why this programme?

This course is part of the XVIII Summer School of the Master's degree in Statistics and Operations Research (MESIO UPC-UB).

Time series analysis is essential for studying the short-term effects of environmental factors on public health. This course provides a structured introduction to the most commonly used ecological designs and regression models for this type of analysis, with an emphasis on practical tools implemented in R. Throughout the training, theoretical explanations will be combined with real-world cases and applied exercises to help solidify key concepts.

The course on Time Series Regression Modeling with R is especially designed for professionals working with environmental and health data. Participants will gain the skills to rigorously apply the most current methods in their own projects, accurately interpret the results, and develop evidence-based studies in the field of environmental health.

Primarily intended for students of the MESIO master’s program. The seminars can be recognized with 3 ECTS if 2 courses are completed and passed, and with 5 ECTS if 3 courses are completed and passed, subject to approval by the Faculty of Mathematics.
Aims
  • Provide the knowledge and analytical skills on the ecological design of time series and their statistical analysis using regression models.
  • Model partnerships to quantify short-term effects by analyzing time series with R and acquire skills to correctly interpret the results of their own research projects.
Who is it for?
The course is aimed at Master's and Doctoral students, as well as researchers (statisticians, epidemiologists, economists, psychologists, etc.) interested in the analysis of data from time series in general, and especially researchers working in environmental health whose interest is aimed at studying the short-term effects of the main environmental risk factors (atmospheric pollution, temperature, pollen, etc.) on health. Basic knowledge of R is required.

Software Requirements
Students must bring their own laptops with R and RStudio installed.

Training Content

List of subjects
15h
Time series regression modelling with R
  • Introduction to the ecological design of time series.
  • Modelling of exposure-response associations and delayed effects.
  • Nonlinear distributed delay models (DLNM)
  • Impact measures: calculation of attributable fractions
  • Cross case design.
  • Two-stage design for multicentre studies.
Degree
Certificate issued by the Fundaci贸 Polit猫cnica de Catalunya.

Learning methodology

The teaching methodology of the programme facilitates the student's learning and the achievement of the necessary competences.

The course is organized around theoretical classes, which are illustrated with real examples using R. These theoretical sessions are followed by the resolution of practical exercises, which the students carry out to consolidate the theoretical concepts. In addition, the active participation of students is encouraged, who will have the opportunity to discuss the results, raise doubts and explore different approaches to solving the proposed problems.
Virtual campus
The students on this summer course will have access to the My_ Tech_Space virtual campus - an effective platform for work and communication between the programme's students, lecturers, directors and coordinators. My_Tech_Space provides the documentation for each training session before it starts, and enables students to work as a team, consult lecturers, check notes, etc.
