Event History Analysis

Catalog description

This course introduces regression analysis in which the outcome is time to event. Topics include review of life tables, discrete-time event history models, piecewise hazard models, proportional hazards, nonproportional hazards, parametric survival models, competing risks, heterogeneity, nested data, and other topics. This is an “applied” course in the sense that the goal is to help you learn to carry out valid data analyses when the response is, or should be, time to event. This version of the course will meet for half of the semester.
