Description

The goal of this course is to provide participants with an introduction into the use of regression models to analyze survival, time to event, data. Particular emphasis is placed on the use of the proportional hazards model with right censored data. The course emphasizes methods and their application, not theory. Topics to be covered include: regression model formulation, interpretation of model parameters, model building strategies, testing model assumptions, assessing model fit, presenting the results of a fitted model and, if time permits, time-varying covariates. The course assumes that participants have had some experience with the Kaplan-Meier estimator, estimation of time to event quantiles and the log-rank test but only minimal experience with the proportional hazards model.
