Learn How To
build models for time-dependent outcomes derived from customer event histories account for competing risks, time-dependent covariates, right censoring, and left truncation handle large data sets compute the expected value of the remaining time until an event evaluate the predictive performance of the model.Who Should Attend
Predictive modelers, data analysts, statisticians, econometricians, model validators, and data scientists
Prerequisites
Before attending this course, you should;
have a basic understanding of survival analysis have experience with predictive modeling, particularly with logistic regression be familiar with statistical concepts such as random variables, probability distributions, and parameter estimation be familiar with SQL (including topics such as sub-queries and left-joining) have SAS programming proficiency.;Many of the SAS examples use DATA step, macro, and SQL programming. The Predictive Modeling Using Logistic Regression and Survival Analysis Using the Proportional Hazards Model courses provide relevant background information. Prior attendance in these courses is advantageous but not required.SAS Products Covered
