Overview
UCL offers the Introduction to Survival or Time-to-Event Data Analysis programme.
Key facts
- Survival/time-to-event analysis is appropriate when the outcome of interest is an event and that event has not occurred for everyone in the dataset.
- The outcome can be something negative (e.g. death, recurrence of a tumour) or something positive (e.g. recovery, task completion).
- The simplest analysis is the log-rank test that assesses differences according to a single factor.
- Cox proportional hazards regression is appropriate to investigate the rate at which the event occurs according to several potential predictors. Both will be covered in this course.
