Abstract: Abstract This chapter reviews the analysis of time to event data. Following a discussion of censored observations, the Kaplan–Meier estimator of the survival function, median and mean survival times, and comparing two survival functions with the log-rank test are reviewed. A second method of comparing survival functions is then introduced—Cox proportional hazards model. Topics include hazard and cumulative hazard functions, interpreting a hazard ratio, Cox regression, and testing for interactions among the covariates.
