Survival Analysis

This course is aimed at everyone who wants to analyze data in which
the time to the occurrence of some event, and its dependence on
covariates, is of interest.

Survival analysis consists of a collection of techniques for the
analysis of time-to-event data. Part of the relevant time window
may be unobserved. In the most frequently encountered situation,
there is one event of interest, and the event time is either
observed exactly or right censored. Programs for the analysis of
right censored data have become readily available.
Emphasis of the course is on the practical application of models
for survival data. Participants will be made familiar with the
possibilities offered through computer exercises.


You will learn how to:
• perform survival analyses and present the results graphically
• analyze the influence of covariates on the event time distribution
• model linear- as well as nonlinear effects of covariates
• evaluate model fit via residuals
• analyze interval censored data
• perform competing risks analyses
• analyze correlated event data

Experience with survival analysis is not assumed. Knowledge of R or
S-PLUS at the level of the introductory course is advised.
