Outline and Purpose of the Course Survival time analysis is a method of statistical analysis of the duration before an event of interest takes place (survival time). It plays an important role in various medical studies such as clinical trials of antineoplastic drugs. Survival time is not usually observed for all subjects because of research constraints, and a unique methodology has been developed to draw inferences based on this truncated data. In this course, students will learn the fundamental concepts of survival time analysis and try to establish an understanding through practice using SAS programming language for statistical analysis.
[Intensive lectures on November 5, 12, 19 and 26 (Fri)]
Course Goals Understand: ・Likelihood in truncated survival time analysis and methods of maximum likelihood estimation for parametric models,
・The Kaplan-Meier method and the concept of logrank tests,
・The concept of hazards and the Cox proportional hazards model, and
・Ways to apply survival time analysis method using SAS.
