This course discusses “time to event” data, where the event can be response to treatment, relapse of disease, or death. Often we wish to quantify the relationship between the time to event and prognostic factors such as mode of therapy, age of patient, and severity of disease. This course will cover inference for a single population, methods for comparison of two or more populations, and methods for conducting regression analysis. Procedures will include the Kaplan-Meier estimator, the log-rank test, and Cox proportional hazards regression.
