Event History Analysis with R

The repository contains teaching materials from a 2015 workshop in survival analysis at the University of Heidelberg, organized at the request of Prof. Dr. Jale Tosun. Over the 2 days, sessions focused on:

  1. Basic concepts in survival analysis: survivor and hazard functions, censoring, and a risk set;
  2. Descriptive analyses: Kaplan-Meier survival curves and the log-rank test
  3. The Cox proportional hazards model
  4. Extensions to the Cox PH model: stratified and extended specifications

The main theoretical source for the sessions was Kleinbaum, D. G., & Klein, M. (2012). Survival Analysis: A Self-Learning Text. New York, NY: Springer.
