Description
Description
Analyzing time to an event (disease recurrence, death, employment, breakdown of machinery, first purchase,…) takes an important place in many fields. The presence of both a categorical component (did or did not experience the event) and a time-component, however, brings very specific difficulties that makes time-to-event analysis a field on its own.
For example, what is the meaning of the average time to employment, if a large proportion of your sample is still unemployed? Or how to deal with a patient who died before relapse, when analyzing time to relapse?
This course offers an introduction to time-to-event analysis, starting with the basic concepts and descriptive techniques (Kaplan Meier), introducing regression models (Cox models and parametric models) and the analysis of competing risks and multistate models.
