Analysis of Multivariate Failure Time Data - Continuing Education - Course
ASA
Instructor(s): Danyu Lin, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Multivariate failure time data arise when each study subject can potentially 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 short course presents a variety of statistical models and methods for the analysis of multivariate failure time data. We will 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 for illustrations.
