Survival Analysis Using the Proportional Hazards Model
SURV : SURV51
This course discusses survival analysis concepts with an emphasis on health care problems. The course focuses on the Cox proportional hazards model, not the parametric models, and is not designed for predictive modelers.
Learn How To
- Perform exploratory data analysis using ODS Statistical Graphics.
- Fit the proportional hazards model.
- Assess the fit of the model.
- Fit Cox proportional hazards models for repeated events and clustered observations.
Who Should Attend
Biostatisticians, epidemiologists, social scientists, and physical scientists
