MPH 6302 - Survival Analysis


This course will cover topics in both discrete data analysis and applied survival analysis. Other topics to cover include discrete data analysis including logistic, regression, exact inference, and conditional logistic regression. This short survey of discrete data topics will provide a natural transition to analysis of survival data. Survival topics include hazard, survivor and cumulative hazard functions, Kaplan-Meir and actuarial estimation of the survival distribution, comparison of survival using log rank and other tests, regression models, including the Cox proportional hazards model and accelerated failure time model, adjustment for time-varying covariates and use of parametric distributions (exponential, Waybill) in survival analysis.
