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.
