Analysis of Multivariate Failure Time Data - Continuing Education - Course
The ASA, Section on Nonparametric Statistics
Instructor(s): Danyu Lin, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Multivariate failure time data arise when each study subject can experience multiple events or when there exists clustering of subjects such that failure times within the same cluster are correlated. Major complications in analyzing such data include the dependence among related failure times and censoring due to limited follow-up or competing events. This course presents a variety of statistical models and methods for the analysis of these data. We discuss marginal and frailty models, paying primary attention to semiparametric regression methods. Relevant software will be described and a number of clinical and epidemiologic studies will be provided.

Course attendees are expected to be familiar with the topic at the level of:
Survival Analysis by David G. Kleinbaum and Mitchel Klein, Springer.
