3 day course which runs from 24th - 27th February 2020 (two full days and two half days)

In many medical applications interest lies in times to or between events. Examples include time from diagnosis of cancer to death, or times between epileptic seizures. This course begins with a review of standard approaches to the analysis of censored survival data. Survival models and estimation procedures are reviewed, and emphasis is placed on the underlying assumptions, how these might be evaluated through diagnostic methods and how robust the primary conclusions might be to their violation. Issues relating to choice of end point, censoring and the appropriate use of time dependent covariates are discussed. The course also includes a description of models and methods for the treatment of multivariate survival data, such as competing risks data, recurrent events or the lifetimes of family members. Each lecture is complemented by a practical session implementing the methods using R.

Important please note:

We will make every attempt to accommodate Lancaster University staff and postgraduate research students on our courses. However, if a course becomes fully booked we reserve the right to give priority to students on the MSc in Statistics, MSc in Data Science, and external participants.
