The Analysis Factor
Statistical Consulting, Resources, and Statistics Workshops for Researchers
One of the key concepts in Survival Analysis is the Hazard Function.
But like a lot of concepts in Survival Analysis, the concept of “hazard” is similar, but not exactly the same as, its meaning in everyday English. Since it’s so important, though, let’s take a look. [Read more…] about What Is a Hazard Function in Survival Analysis?
It was Casey Stengel who offered the sage advice, “If you come to a fork in the road, take it.”
When you need to fit a regression model to survival data, you have to take a fork in the road. One road asks you to make a distributional assumption about your data and the other does not. [Read more…] about Parametric or Semi-Parametric Models in Survival Analysis?
When you have data measuring the time to an event, you can examine the relationship between various predictor variables and the time to the event using a Cox proportional hazards model.
In this webinar, you will see what a hazard function is and describe the interpretations of increasing, decreasing, and constant hazard. Then you will examine the log rank test, a simple test closely tied to the Kaplan-Meier curve, and the Cox proportional hazards model.
