Advanced Topics in Survival Analysis

Overview
The most commonly used methods of dealing with survival, and other 'time to event' data, are based on the assumption of proportional hazards. This course is concerned with models for different types of data structure, or with different underlying assumptions.

Who Should Attend?
Statisticians in medical research in public sector institutions and in the pharmaceutical and related industries, who already have some familiarity with modelling survival data. In particular, some experience in using proportional hazards models will be advantageous.

How You Will Benefit
If you deal regularly with survival data and need more tools for their analysis, then this course will introduce you to a range of different survival analysis models.

What Do We Cover?
  • Overview of the Cox and Weibull proportional hazards models
  • The counting process input style
  • Accelerated failure time models
  • Time-dependent variates
  • Non-proportional hazards
  • Interval censored survival data
  • Informative censoring
  • Frailty models
  • Competing risks
  • Other parametric survival models.

Software
Practical work will be done in: SAS. Participants may instead use R.
Note: For practical work, participants must bring their own laptop with a fully licensed version of the software.
