Introduction to Survival Analysis

About this Class

In this talk, we will cover the basics of survival analysis as a statistical methodology developed for censored data. Special emphasis will be on visualizing survival data, comparing survival-time distributions for subject groups, and performing regression-type analysis on survival data. Attendees should have beginner to intermediate knowledge of applied statistics or biostatistics, familiarity with the basics of inferential statistics, hypothesis testing, linear regression, and logistic regression. This talk is part of a complementary demo-based coding event with the Bioinformatics Training and Education Program (BTEP) Coding Club, entitled "Survival Analysis in R Using the survival Package".

This session will be recorded, and materials will be shared with attendees a few days after the event.
