Introduction to Survival Analysis with STATA

Description:

Outline

This course is designed for people who are familiar with the Stata software and want to use it for analysing survival/event history data.

• Theoretical foundation of survival analysis
• Finding appropriate research questions
• Data manipulation as preparation for survival analysis
• Analysis and interpretation of results
• Graphical representation of results
• Integration of time-constant and time-varying covariates

On completion of the course, participants will have the necessary familiarity with the survival analysis and the data manipulation required in Stata to move on to their own projects.

Objectives

This course aims to introduce participants to the theory and concept of survival analysis and provides strategies to decide for which research questions this method has benefits over alternative approaches. The course will further cover preparation of datasets, discuss some common pitfalls and train the participants in the interpretation of statistical and graphical results. The practical exercises should enable the participants to set up data and conduct analysis on their own. During the exercise, we use the software package STATA but participants should be able to extrapolate their gained knowledge to any software and research topic.
