This case study was developed for the Australian Field Epidemiology Training Program, The Masters of Philosophy (Applied Epidemiology) offered through the Australian National University. In this exercise we will use a case control for an outbreak of Shiga toxin producing E. coli infection to conduct a simple descriptive analysis, and estimate measures of association. The study will allow us to interpret findings of a case control study that employs frequency matching of controls. We will also analyse the data employing pair matching of cases and controls.

Note: this is quite a large file, so it might take some time to load.

Things to address:

• add Arminder as a contributor
• standardize code
• fix factor conversions
• update plyr code to dplyr (since plyr is officially retired)
• use R4EPIs instead of epicon***t (?)
