Observational studies are non-interventional empirical investigations of causal effects and are playing an increasingly vital role in healthcare decision making in the era of data science. The study design is particularly important in planning observational studies due to the lack of randomization. Aspects of design include defining the objectives and context under investigation, collecting the right data, and choosing suitable strategies to remove bias from measured and unmeasured confounders. Statistical analysis should also align with the design.
This module covers key concepts and useful methods for designing and analyzing observational studies. The first part of the module will focus on matching and weighting methods for cohort and case-control studies for causal inference. Specific topics include basic tools of matching and weighting, randomization inference, and sensitivity analysis. The second part of the module will focus on methods to address unmeasured confounding via causal exclusion. Specific to…

The design and analysis of a randomized clinical trial involves a series of decisions, including the choice of the primary outcome, sample size, randomization algorithm, interim monitoring plan, and the choice of the primary analysis and estimand of interest. This course will focus on the statistical considerations that inform each of these decisions. Additional topics include addressing multiple comparisons, handling missing data, and whether to consider an adaptive design. We will present a set of simple tools and principles that go a long way towards defining a robust clinical trial design. We will also shed light on some common pitfalls to avoid. Discussions will be driven by examples of trials from a variety of domains including cardiovascular disease, infectious disease (HIV, Ebola, COVID-19), as well as other settings.
We assume enrollees will be familiar with topics taught in introductory statistics (t-tests, regression, confidence intervals, p-values, and a basic understanding of the central limit…

Longitudinal studies follow individuals over time and repeatedly measure health status, which facilitates prospective ascertainment of exposures and incident outcomes, and identification of changes over time within individuals. Analyses of longitudinal data must account for the correlation that arises from collecting repeated measures on the same individuals over time.
This module will introduce statistical methods for the analysis of longitudinal data, with a focus on marginal (or, population-averaged) models fit via generalized estimating equations and conditional (or, subject-specific) models fit via generalized linear mixed-effects models. Relevant theoretical background will be provided. Illustrative examples and interactive activities (conducted in R) will be used to practice analysis approaches, modeling strategies, and interpretation of results.
This course is targeted toward individuals with little or no prior experience with statistical methods for longitudinal data analysis. Experience with using…

Kick off PNW Climate Week 2026 with groundbreaking climate science! Join UW College of the Environment for a high‑energy, fully virtual talk and Q&A with Professor Cecilia Bitz, the Jerome M. Paros Endowed Chair in Atmospheric and Climate Hazard Research.
Sea ice, a bedrock of Arctic communities and the bellwether of climate change, is under threat — but new research is providing a way forward.
Professor Bitz is one of the world’s go‑to experts on Arctic climate change. She digs deep into how melting sea ice reshapes global systems, and builds the models that help us predict what’s coming next. As an NSF and NOAA‑funded researcher, she’s pushing the science that policymakers rely on, including briefing the U.S. Senate on Arctic risks. Her work sits at the front line of climate action.

Longitudinal studies follow individuals over time and repeatedly measure health status. Analyses of longitudinal data are often complicated by several factors that can threaten the validity of standard analysis methods. First, missing data in longitudinal outcomes can arise when individuals are lost to follow-up, either due to drop-out (e.g. in randomized trails) or death (e.g. in long-term observational studies). Second, when modeling intermittently measured time-dependent covariates in a survival analysis, biological variation can lead to measurement error. Joint modeling of longitudinal and survival outcomes has emerged as a novel approach to handle these issues.
We will detail the use of mixed-effects models for the analysis of repeated longitudinal measures, Cox regression models for the analysis of event-time outcomes with longitudinal measures as time-dependent covariates, and their combination in a joint modeling framework. An in-depth data analysis (conducted in R) will be used to discuss analysis…

Although missing data are pervasive in studies across disciplines, the impact of missing data on estimation and inference and the strengths and weaknesses of modern approaches to handling missing data are not widely understood.
This module will review common missing data mechanisms, then introduce a variety of methods for estimation and inference in the presence of missing data, including conventional methods, the EM algorithm, multiple imputation, and semi-parametric methods. Approaches to sensitivity analyses will also be discussed. All methods will be illustrated in R using data from observational studies.
This course is targeted towards individuals with little or no prior experience with modern missing data methods. Experience using regression methods to analyze data (e.g. linear regression, logistic regression) is important background for this module.

While clinical trials provide the highest level of evidence to compare clinical treatments or public health interventions, they are often not feasible due to ethical, logistic or economic constraints. Observational studies provide an opportunity to learn about the effect of interventions for which little or no trial data are available. These studies constitute a potentially rich and relatively cheap source of information. However, in such studies, treatment or intervention allocation may be strongly confounded by other important patient characteristics and much care is needed to disentangle observed relationships and infer causal effects.
In this course, we will provide an overview of modern statistical techniques for analyzing observational data. We will focus primarily on recent advances in the field of targeted learning, which facilitates the use of state-of-the-art machine learning tools to flexibly adjust for confounding while yielding valid statistical inference. In contrast, conventional techniques fo…

n this module, we will present a number of supervised learning techniques for the analysis of Biomedical Big Data. These techniques include penalized approaches for performing regression, classification, and survival analysis with Big Data. Support vector machines, decision trees, and random forests will also be covered.
The main emphasis will be on the analysis of “high-dimensional” data sets from genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics, and other fields. These data are typically characterized by a huge number of molecular measurements (such as genes) and a relatively small number of samples (such as patients). We will also consider electronic health record data sets, which often contain many missing measurements.
Throughout the course, we will focus on common pitfalls in the supervised analysis of Biomedical Big Data and how to avoid them. The techniques discussed will be demonstrated in R.

The propensity score is a key component of many causal inference procedures. After establishing the basic causal inference framework, we will outline the key methods of construction of propensity score functions, and study their core mathematical properties. We will detail the use of the propensity score in matching, inverse weighting and regression adjustments that allow the unconfounded effect of an exposure or treatment of interest to be estimated consistently.
Using the framework of semiparametric inference, we will contrast the statistical properties of estimators derived using each method. We will investigate issues of model selection for the propensity score, and demonstrate the utility of judicious choice of predictors that enter into the propensity function. This will be illustrated in standard problems and also in the case of high-dimensional predictors. Longitudinal data will also be studied in the causal setting.
Finally, we will develop the Bayesian framework for handling causal inference and i…

Improving Precision and Power in Randomized Trials by Leveraging Baseline Variables - Summer Institutes Online Short Course
In randomized clinical trials with baseline variables that are correlated with the outcome, there is potential to improve precision and reduce the required sample size by appropriately adjusting for these variables in the statistical analysis (called covariate adjustment). The resulting sample size reductions can lead to substantial cost savings, and also can lead to more ethical trials since they avoid exposing more participants than necessary to experimental treatments. Despite regulators such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency recommending covariate adjustment, it remains underutilized leading to inefficient trials in many disease areas. This is especially true for trials with binary, ordinal, and time-to-event outcomes, which are quite common.
This module provides a comprehensive overview of covariate adjustment—explaining what it is, how it works, when it is beneficial, and how to implement it in a preplanned, model-robust manner across various scenarios. Using re…

Cost: $35 for PlantAmnesty Members, $75 for non-members
REGISTER ONLINE, Limited financial aid slots offered on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Instances of mal-pruning and good intentions gone awry are sometimes explained away as “pruning art.” From improperly sheared hedges to ineffective design and training, this class will contrast examples of mal-pruning with bona-fide forms of pruning art and show how to use them to best effect. We’ll cover hedges and topiary, espalier, coppicing, pollarding, and pleaching, ending with a humorous note with slides from Cass Turnbull’s “The Good, The Bad, and the Bizarre” collection. Part of the Master Pruner Series held in partnership with PlantAmnesty.
