Event

This course provides a deeper understanding of the main concepts, quantities and models in the analysis of time-to-event data. We explain the different types of censored and truncated data and the assumptions behind the basic estimation methods. The basic Cox proportional hazards model is extended by covering nonproportional hazards, the equivalent Poisson regression approach, time-varying covariates and immortal time bias. We explain “the hazard of hazard ratios” and introduce models based on restricted mean survival time.  A specific focus will be on key concepts in competing risks analysis. Computer practicals will be provided in both R and Stata.  Participants should have some understanding of the basics of survival analysis (familiarity with right censored data, Kaplan-Meier and the Cox proportional hazards regression model).

Prerequisites: Participants should have basic familiarity with one of R or Stata and ability to conduct basic survival analyses in the package, e.g. obtain a Kaplan-Meier plot.

This event will be held in person and online via Zoom.
