Training Provided by Creascience

This one-day workshop offers an overview of the modeling techniques used for life data (time-to-event) and their specific features, the interpretation of results, strengths and weaknesses and also discusses their practical realization. Several applications in the social sciences, engineering and life sciences will be presented.

Upon completion of this training course, participants will have learned:

  • The motivation and the principle underlying statistical tools to analyze life data
  • To be able to use tools used to compare survival curves
  • To know the scope and limitations of the various approaches available
This is primarily ilt training
