The course introduces statistical methods for survival analysis, that is, the analysis of studies where the outcome is a time-to-event. Measures covered are survival probabilities, survival percentiles, and rates. The methods include Kaplan-Meier survival curve, Poisson regression, Cox regression, Laplace regression. Modelling strategies include flexible modelling of quantitative predictors and interaction analysis. The concepts and methods are illustrated through real-life examples taken from medical, epidemiological, and public-health research. The emphasis is placed on interpretation and practical relevance. Guided, hands-on computer activities enable the participants to utilize the presented statistical methods.
