Dates: 22^nd-23^rd April 2015

Location: University of Leicester, College Court

 

Course Description:

 

The joint modelling of longitudinal and survival data has been an area of growing interest in recent years, with the benefits of the approach becoming recognised in ever widening fields of study. The models can provide both an effective way of conducting analysis of a survival endpoint (e.g. time to death), influenced by a time-varying covariate measured with error, or alternatively correct for non-random dropout in the analysis of a longitudinal outcome (e.g. a biomarker). This two-day course will provide an introduction to joint modelling through real applications to both clinical trial data and electronic health records, describing the methodological framework, underlying assumptions, estimation, model building and predictions. Analyses will be conducted using the stjm package in Stata.
