Description
Survival Analysis is one of the most important statistical methods used in medical research, engineering, social sciences, public health, reliability testing, epidemiology, and time-to-event modeling. This course, Survival Analysis, provides a complete, step-by-step understanding of how to analyze time-dependent outcomes, interpret survival functions, compare groups, and build predictive survival models.Designed for students, researchers, and professionals, this course takes you from the core foundations to practical hands-on interpretation-including Kaplan-Meier estimation, Cox Regression, censoring, hazard rates, and APA-style reporting. By the end, you will be fully prepared to conduct your own survival-based research or replicate real-world studies.What This Course Covers?Foundations of Survival AnalysisYou will begin with essential conceptual building blocks:Introduction to Survival AnalysisWhat Survival Analysis IsHistory of Survival AnalysisCore Concepts and TerminologyTo build a strong theoretical understanding, the course explains:Time, Event, and Residual LifeHazard, Hazard Rate, and Survival RateConditional Probability in Survival AnalysisUnderstanding Censored vs. Uncensored DataMean Time Between Failures (MTBF) vs. Mean Time To Failure (MTTF)Kaplan-Meier vs. Cox RegressionA critical part of the course explains:When to use Kaplan-Meier?When to use Cox Regression?Research examples illustrating both methodsHands-On Preparation for Survival AnalysisYou will gain step-by-step guidance on:Setting data for survival analysisFormulating research objectives and hypothesesUnderstanding input options for the Kaplan-Meier methodInterpreting Survival OutputYou will learn to interpret all major survival analysis results:Case Processing Summary & Survival TablesMean Survival, Median Survival, PercentilesPairwise Comparisons between groupsSurvival Function PlotsLinking Survival Functions with other statistical resultsAPA Style ReportingYou will learn how to write:Complete APA-style reports for Kaplan-Meier Survival AnalysisClear, publication-ready interpretations of survival curves and statistical testsPractical ProjectThe course concludes with:A real-world project replicating an actual survival analysis study- putting all your knowledge into practice.By the End of This Course, You Will Be Able To:Understand key concepts such as hazard rate, survival rate, censoring, and time-to-event outcomesCollect and prepare data for survival analysisRun Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards regressionInterpret survival curves, group comparisons, and statistical tablesKnow when to apply each method and whyProduce APA-style written reports suitable for research or publicationConduct independent survival analysis projects with confidenceWho Should Enroll?This course is ideal for:Medical and clinical researchersBiological and health sciences studentsData analysts and statisticiansEngineers working on reliability analysisSocial science researchersGraduate students preparing thesis or dissertation analysesAnyone working with time-to-event, duration, or failure-time data
