Statistical modelling of time-to-event data using survival analysis: an
introduction for animal behaviourists, ecologists and evolutionary
biologists (TTED01)
https://www.psstatistics.com/course/statistical-modelling-of-time-to-event-data-using-survival-analysis-tted01/
This course will be delivered by Dr. Will Hoppitt for the 21st - 25th
January 2019 in Glasgow City Centre
Course Overview:
Survival analysis is a set of statistical methods initially designed to
analyse data giving the times at which individuals die, and assess the
effect that different predictor variables have on the rate of death and
is therefore useful for studying population dynamics and patterns of
marine mammals. However, its applications are much broader than this: it
can be used to analyse any time-to-event data. Ecologists and
evolutionary biologists often encounter data of this kind. Often factors
influencing survival itself will be of interest. But there are many
other cases, e.g. what factors influence the time of first breeding? Or
the time taken to reach maturity? Animal behaviourists too will
encounter this type of data frequently, e.g. what factors influence the
time it takes to learn a novel behaviour pattern? Or the time to respond
to a stimulus? etc. And yet the techniques of survival analysis are not
generally well known by researchers in these disciplines.
In this course, you will learn how to apply survival analysis models to
quantify the effect that predictor variables (continuous or discrete)
have on the rate at which events occur, and how to test hypotheses about
these effects. We will focus on a flexible modelling technique called
the Cox proportional hazards model, which makes minimal assumptions
about the underlying probability distributions. You will learn how to
fit and interpret these models, how to evaluate its assumptions, and how
to extend it to model time dependent variables, random effects,
multistate models and competing risks models.
