Applied Survival Analysis

3 credits · Graduate School

This course provides an applied introduction to methods for time-to-event data with censoring mechanisms. Topics include life tables, non-parametric approaches (Kaplan-Meier curves, log-rank test), semi-parametric approaches (Cox proportional hazards model), parametric approaches (Weibull, gamma), competing risks, and time-dependent covariates. Focus is on fitting the models and the relevance of those models for the biomedical application. Prerequisites: BIOS 6312 and BIOS 6342. [3]
