Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student will be able to:
  1. Create, interpret and critically assess the ouput from the Kaplan-Meier method (descriptive statistics and survival graphs).
  2. Create, interpret and critically assess the ouput from Cox regression (survival graphs, hazard graphs, hazard ratios).
  3. Create, interpret and critically assess the ouput from parametric survival models (survival graphs, hazard graphs, hazard ratios).
  4. Critically discuss how parametric survival models can be used for extrapolating (and therefore obtain unrestricted life expectancy estimates) and partitioning survival curves
  5. Evaluate how outputs from survival models can be used as inputs in Markov models, discrete event simulations and cumulative incidence implementations.
