June 10 and 11, 2008
Brenda Gillespie and Myra Kim, Instructors
This workshop, held over two days, covers basic concepts of and common analytical approaches for time-to-event data, known variously as survival analysis (in biological and medical sciences), event history analysis (in social sciences), or reliability analysis (in engineering).
The workshop will be held in a computer lab and the methods will be illustrated with hands-on exercises. Exercises and examples will use SPSS, SAS and/or Stata as necessary. This workshop covers:
- Basic concepts associated with the analysis of censored
data (survival function, hazard function)
- Methods for estimating the survival function
(Kaplan-Meier and life-table analyses)
- Two-sample tests with censored data (log-rank and
Wilcoxon tests)
- Regression analysis with censored data (Cox proportional
hazards regression, Weibull regression), including time varying covariates, correlated data, and stratified cox models
- Discrete models for censored data (logistic regression,
Poisson regression)
Computational approaches using statistical software will be emphasized.
Examples will be from both SAS and SPSS.
