STAT827: Survival Analysis
This unit explores biostatistical applications of survival analysis. These begin with the Kaplan-Meier curve definition and its extension to the comparison of survival of several groups of subjects. The Cox proportional hazards model is introduced as a method for handling continuous covariates and parametric accelerated failure-time models are also covered. Time-dependent covariates and multiple outcomes are also considered.
