Workshop: Data visualisation and health economics
The Centre for Health Economics is pleased to invite you to a workshop on data visualisation and health economics, presented by Professor Andrew Jones from York University.
This workshop reviews econometric methods for health outcomes and health care costs that are used for prediction and forecasting, risk adjustment, resource allocation, technology assessment and policy evaluation.
We'll focus on the principles and practical application of data visualisation and statistical graphics and how these can enhance applied econometric analysis. We'll devote particular attention to methods for skewed and heavy-tailed distributions. Practical examples show how these methods can be applied to data on individual healthcare costs and health outcomes.
Topics include:
- introduction to data visualisation
- data description and regression
- generalised linear models
- flexible parametric models
- semiparametrics models
- application to biomarkers.
While applications of this workshop are focused on health, the workshop will be of interest to anyone doing applied econometrics with micro data, in particular PhD students and early career researchers.
