SURVIVAL ANALYSIS IN S-PLUS
by Dr Terry Therneau
23-24 May, 2001, LONDON
Course Description:
In the last few years the survival analysis software available
in several of the standard statistical packages has experienced
a major increment in functionality, and is no longer limited to
the triad of Kaplan-Meier curves, logrank tests, and simple Cox
models.
This course will attempt to give an overview of modern survival
analysis methods using the Splus package. Approximately equal
time will be spent on each of the major sections below, with 1/3
- 1/2 of each section devoted to actual data examples. The written
materials will go into considerably more detail on several of the
topics, and also include SAS code for many of the examples,
particularly those dealing with extension of the Cox model.
Dr. Terry Therneau is currently head of the Section of Biostatistics
at the Mayo Clinic. He has worked in medical research statistics for
over 15 years, largely in areas where survival analysis plays a
fundamental role. He has written several papers on the use of residuals
in the Cox model, and made numerous presentations at ASA, ENAR and
Interface meetings. He is the author of the survival routines found in
S-PLUS, as well as the SAS procedures Coxreg and Survtest which were
distributed for many years aspart of the SAS Supplimental Library.
