An Introduction to Survival Analysis

 

Course No.215018Y   

Period20   

Credits1    

Course CategoryAdvanced Course      

Aims & Requirements:
In this course I will introduce statistical techniques in survival analysis, one of most popular techniques in biomedical research. One key feature in the survival analysis is censoring, which occurs if all we know about the survival time of a subject is that his/her survival time is greater than or less than a known value. In this course, I will discuss parametric, non-parametric, and semi-parametric models for survival data. Emphasis will be placed on understanding key assumptions in these methods and on using existing statistical software packages (e.g. Stata) for implementing those methods.
