In this course you will learn about both epidemiological models and statistical models used to forecast Covid-19 pandemic data.
The Covid-19 pandemic caused by the Coronavirus has produced a wealth of data to a degree not seen in any previous pandemic, and doubtless will fuel an equivalent volume of research. Statistical researchers outside the field of epidemiology have become involved, and will need to learn more about epidemiological models.
In this course, you will learn the basic epidemiologic models and statistical models that are used to forecast the Covid-19 pandemic
This course is for statistically literate health science professionals, and statistical research professionals who need to understand how the Covid-19 pandemic is being modeled.
This course will be taught by instructors at The Institute, however an instructor for this course has not been chosen at this juncture.

This is a discussion-based seminar style course. It is intended for statistically-literate researchers, but you will gain something from the course even if you are not an expert in statistical models.
This course takes place online at The Institute for 4 weeks. During each course week, you participate at times of your own choosing – there are no set times when you must be online. Course participants will be given access to a private discussion board. In class discussions led by the instructor, you can post questions, seek clarification, and interact with your fellow students and the instructor.
At the beginning of each week, you receive the relevant material, in addition to answers to exercises from the previous session. During the week, you are expected to go over the course materials, work through exercises, and submit answers. Discussion among participants is encouraged. The instructor will provide answers and comments, and at the end of the week, you will receive individual feedback on your homework answers.
Homework in this course consists of discussion questions, plus mostly optional assignments to test knowledge of modeling. Records of completion will be issued, based primarily on participation in discussion.
All materials and links to materials will be provided.
Modeling illustrations will be provided in R
