Event History Analysis
4 - 5 October 2023
Paola Zaninotto and Feifei Bu

This course is for anyone wanting to learn to use statistical methods that are designed to describe, explain or predict the occurrence of events such as death, incidence disease, time to employment etc. The course will cover censoring, Kaplan-Meier methods and Cox regression methods. It will also cover how to model recurrent events and competing events.

By the end of this course you will be able to:

  • Describe and model time to single event data
  • Model recurrent events taking account of clustering within individuals (random effects/ frailty models)
  • To correctly estimate marginal probability of an event in the presence of competing events

There will be two online live lectures sessions and two online live computer practical sessions in R or Stata.
