Catalog description

This is an advanced course in Survival Analysis that will cover topics beyond the scope of an introductory course (BIOS 845). The course intends to train PhD students to analyze complex time-to-event data often encountered in clinical trials or observational studies with complex study designs that requires advanced statistical methods for data analysis. Topics covered are multivariate survival data, methods for competing risks, multi-state models, recurrent event models, methods for joint and mixture models, Bayesian options, and design of trials with survival endpoints. Prerequisite: BIOS 845, or by permission of instructor.
