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:
- Basic concepts in survival analysis: survivor and hazard functions, censoring, and a risk set;
- Descriptive analyses: Kaplan-Meier survival curves and the log-rank test
- The Cox proportional hazards model
- 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.
