Routine data
This Working Group is intended to address the issues encountered by statisticians working on fairly complex, routine datasets. We aim to provide a networking group for statistical researchers involved in the analysis of either established databases or routine data that has not been pre-processed. We run events and provide resources for statisticians to share experience on issues such as routine data access and linkage, coding, and analysis.
The Group has organised a number of meetings, including:
- Overcoming Challenges in Emulating Target Trials using Routine Data (14/10/2024)
- Analysis of classification problems using machine learning and statistical methodologies in routine data (03/07/2023)
- New Horizons in Routine Data Sources (18/05/2022)
The Group has also put together a collection of useful resources.
If you would like to join a working group committee or wish to find out more please email the NIHR Statistics Group.
