Survival Analysis

AY2021/2022 Semester 1

The course will introduce statistical methods used to analysis time-to-event data. Time-to-event or failure time data, and associated covariate data can be collected under a variety of sampling schemes and very commonly involves right censoring. The distribution of a time-to-event variable is often characterized in terms of its survival or hazard function. The course will cover fundamentals in survival analysis, with emphasis on statistical principal, methods and real life applications. The course will also motivate students to work closely with data and make inference nonparametrically and/or parametrically in the fields of study.
