Workshop and Hackathon ‘Analysing historical mortality and cause of death data’
2025-06-19 - 2025-06-20 | University of Zurich, Switzerland, Rämistrasse 71, 8006, Zurich, Switzerland
The aim of this 2-day-event is to use an exemplary historical data set to explore different ways of statistically analysing and presenting mortality and causes of death data, including with regard to the question of inequality. We will work with concepts such as excess mortality, competing risk analysis, regression based analyses, and other statistical methods. During the workshop there will both be interactive input from selected experts, as well as group- work to address various methodological challenges in the form of a hackathon. The results will then be incorporated into a first draft of a best-practice guide.
This workshop is the first step in a multi-stage process. The key input presentations by the experts will be recorded and then made available to the entire Action. In addition, online follow-up meetings with the entire Working Group 3 and COST Action will be held to review, discuss and further improve the best practice guidelines developed in the workshop (details will follow in summer 2025).
