***Introduction to Survival Analysis***
5 - 7 November
Survival data arise in a literal form from trials concerning life-threatening conditions, but the methodology can also be applied to other waiting times such as the duration of pain relief. This course discusses both the design and analysis of clinical trials in which the response variable is a survival time.
During the lectures the statistical package SAS will be used to illustrate the methodologies, and in practical sessions participants will analyse and report on the results of a simulated clinical trial. Considerable emphasis is placed on practical work and the interpretation of models.
