The course provides an introduction to the survival analysis.
Topics: basics (censoring mechanisms, characteristics of the time-to-failure distribution, etc.); basic time to failure distributions (exponential, Weibull); Kaplan Meier estimator; tests for comparing of survival curves (logrank, Gehans, logrank test for trend, extensions); proportional hazards model (estimation, diagnostics); parameteric models; marginal models for multivariate and correlated failure-time data; competing risks.
